In Dungeons and Dragons, spell casting involves a character carefully plucking at invisible strands of raw magic, placing them in a specific pattern, setting them vibrating, and then releasing them to unleash the desired effect within seconds. Three constants are always at play: spell components, time, and space. In D and D, spells have levels ranging from 0 to 9, with level 0 spells being relatively weak but powerful.
The ranger, warlock, and monk classes in D and D each have unique spellcasting abilities that set them apart from other classes. Rangers have access to a spell slot (coin) that can be cast at a higher level. Spell slots limit the number of leveled spells that can be cast, and wizards start with six 1st-level spells of their choice in their spell book. As they gain a level, they add two more Wizard spells that they have.
Ritual spellcasting doesn’t use slots, and some abilities also allow casting without them. Spell slots are how D and D track magical stamina and the energy needed to cast different power-level spells and turn it into a game mechanic. In D and D 5e, spell components are mechanical features that represent the process by which a spellcaster actually works their magic.
In summary, spell casting is a crucial aspect of Dungeons and Dragons, where spell components, time, and space are constants. Each class has unique spellcasting abilities, and spell slots are used to fuel spell casting.

📹 AD&D – New Player Guide – Spells
Let’s talk spells. Spells in combat. Casting time when we compress melee rounds. V,S,M. Saving throws, memorization, all that.
I don’t have the 1e books, so you might be getting the explanation from the AD&D PHB, but other editions had better explanations. In AD&D 2nd Edition, they explained spell memorization like this: You study the precise incantations, tracings, words, syllables, and so forth during your morning routine. When you do it right, the spell pattern becomes “locked” in your mind, like a potion mixed. When you speak the trigger words and use the components, this spell is unleashed and is used up. You “reload” again each day. Think of it this way: memorizing/preparing a spell in the morning is baking a cake. Casting it in battle is eating the cake. Now the cake is gone, and you need to bake a new cake to eat another cake. Personally I think most people disdain spell slots because it’s not adequately explained to people. You don’t “know” how to do a spell and then “forget” how to do it. That’s silly and it’s not how it’s been described in any of the books I’ve read (2nd, 3rd, and 5th). PS. I love you taking shots at Neverwinter Nights 2 when you bring it up. That camera was awful.
