Preparing a new list of spells requires at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. The spells must be of a level you can cast. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your primary ability modifier + half your Paladin level (minimum of one spell). You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Paladin spell list. The primary ability for Clerics, Druids and Rangers is Wisdom. The primary ability for Bards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks is Charisma. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your primary ability modifier + your spell caster level (minimum of one spell). You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the spell list for your class.

Bards, Clerics, Druids, Rangers, Sorcerers, and Warlocks The spells must be of a level that you can cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To memorize a spell it must be in your spellbook. You cannot cast a spell that you have not memorized. Warlocks recover 100% of their mana after a short or long rest. All spell casters except for Warlocks recover 100% of their mana after a long rest. Refer to the tables in the PHB for the number of cantrips each class receives based on their level. Spells that can be cast at higher levels require one additional mana point for each additional level.Ĭantrips use a negligible amount of mana and do not deduct from a character’s mana points. Casting the spell does not remove the spell from the spell casters memory, and the same spell can be used over and over as long as there are mana points in the character’s mana pool. So to cast a 2nd level spell would require deducting 2 mana from a character’s mana points. The mana cost of a spell is equal to the spell’s level. Let me know what you think of mine.Įach day a spell casting character has a magic threshold. There are several systems out there that use Mana or Spell Points for magic. This uses the same spells and everything else as presented in the Players Handbook (PHB) except for replacing its “spell slot” system with a “mana” system. This is my attempt to address this with an alternative to the “spell slots” system that fifth edition uses.

It doesn’t seem to be very “logical” and there are other systems that might be better. There has always been a lot of discussion regarding the magic system used in Dungeons and Dragons.
