Preparing Spells

Many spellcasters know more spells than they can recall at any given time. Prepared spells represent those a character can use by spending spell slots. Check your heroes' list of known spells and choose which ones you want to prepare. Spells that are not prepared cannot be cast. Many characters know more spells than they can prepare, so choose carefully.

Proficiency in Spells

Some classes have access to magic spells right away, others have to reach a higher level or select a Subclass.

Cantrips

Some Classes and Ancestries (Races and Subraces) have access to Cantrips. The character must select the allotted cantrips from the provided list. Cantrips are simple spells which can be cast infinitely, without spending a spell slot, as opposed to main spells.

Main Spells

Each provides a list of spells tailoring to the class flavour, for example, Clerics have healing spells while Wizards can harness the power of the Elements. Some Classes can access all the spells, while others like the Wizard, must collect them in their spellbook. And finally, some classes require to select and prepare their spells through a long rest, while others are free to use their known spells provided they have remaining spell slots.

Identifying Magical Items

Sometimes, you'll come across superb items which you'll suspect to be magical, You'll need to cast the Detect Magic spell to confirm this, and then cast Identify to know their properties and benefit from them. These spells can be cast for a fee in most shops, but a character who knows them can cast them while exploring.

Ritual Casting

Spells such as Detect and Identify can be cast as rituals. That means you don't need to expend a spell slot to cast them - you simply need to stay put for a while, since a ritual takes 10 minutes longer than normal casting.
