The rule on casting a spell as a bonus action applies only on the turn you cast the spell. For example, spiritual weapon can be cast as a bonus action, and it lasts for 1 minute. On the turn you cast it, you can’t cast another spell before or after it, unless that spell is a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.
Can you cast a bonus action spell and an action spell in the same turn?
A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.”
Can you cast a reaction spell on your turn?
Can you also cast a reaction spell on your turn? You sure can! Here’s a common way for it to happen: Cornelius the wizard is casting fireball on his turn, and his foe casts counterspell on him.
Can a bonus action spell be cast as an action?
No, you can’t cast a “bonus action” spell as an action. PHB page 202, under “Casting Time” (emphasis mine): Bonus Action A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.
Can you cast a non cantrip spell as an action?
Casting a non-cantrip spell as an Action prevents you from using your Bonus Action to cast any spell, and any spell cast as a Bonus Action prevents you from casting any non-Cantrip spell as an Action. The reading “You can’t cast another spell during the same turn” is pretty blunt.
Can you cast a reaction spell in the same round?
In the PHB page 202 under the bonus action heading it states: You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action. This seems to state that if you cast a bonus action spell, you could not cast a reaction spell in the same round.
Can you cast a cantrip with a bonus action?
If you cast a spell with an action, you can no longer cast spells or cantrips with a bonus action on that turn. However, a mate has argued with me, that if you first cast a spell with an Action, then you can cast another with a Bonus Action, since casting as an action does not prevent casting as a bonus, only the other way around.
