{"key":"srd_actions-in-combat_cast-a-spell","name":"Cast a Spell","desc":"Spellcasters such as wizards and clerics, as well as many monsters, have access to spells and can use them to great effect in combat. Each spell has a casting time, which specifies whether the caster must use an action, a reaction, minutes, or even hours to cast the spell. Casting a spell is, therefore, not necessarily an action. Most spells do have a casting time of 1 action, so a spellcaster often uses his or her action in combat to cast such a spell.","index":2,"initialHeaderLevel":3,"document":"srd-2014","ruleset":"srd_actions-in-combat","crossreferences":{"to":[]}}
