So to answer your question, by rules, you can cast a spell of 1 action if you fall 500 feet and are still falling. If the fall is less than 500 feet, then the spell would be cast after hitting the ground (if you aren’t knocked unconscious).
Can you take an action while falling?
5 Answers. The rules for falling do not address timing or actions at all. They only specify damage taken. However, the general rules for the game are that things are atomic—you do one action, you do another, and you cannot mix them or interleave them.
Can you cast shield after casting a spell on your turn?
This is one of the few ways to cast more than one spell (both non cantrips) on a turn. If say you cast Ray of Sickness and the opponent casts Shield, you can then cast Counterspell on the shield, casting your second spell on a turn.
Can I cast a bonus action as an action?
No. Actions cannot be traded for bonus actions. Various class features, spells and other abilities let you take an additional action on your turn called a bonus action. You can take only one bonus action on your turn, so you must choose which bonus action to use when you have more than one.
What spells can I use as a bonus action?

What happens if a spell has a casting time of 1 minute?
None of the rules for longer casting times here directly prevent you from using an available bonus action, reaction, or movement on your turn. So, you may use them as appropriate on your turn without your spell failing. On your turn, you can move a distance up to your speed and take one action.
How many spells can you cast in one turn?
There are no restrictions on how many spells you can cast in a turn if they have casting times of 1 action or a reaction, subject to having unused actions and reactions. (So you could, potentially, use Action Surge to cast 2 fireballs in 1 turn.) If I cast fireball, the enemy wizard casts counterspell, I can use my reaction to counterspell.
Can a person move while casting a spell?
No, you cannot move while casting a spell (under a strict mechanical interpretation of the question). Spells with a longer casting time than 1 action require you to spend your action on each turn casting the spell until the casting time has elapsed. The answer still applies as written to each individual casting action.
Can you cast a spell while you fall?
Falling is essentially a passive or consequential form of movement. You could cast a spell while falling because falling does not use your speed to move. However, you would not actually fall any distance during the casting. You would cast the spell at some point during the ongoing fall.
