When can you counterspell a spell with long casting time?

If a spell has a casting time of 1 minute, they are casting for that 1 minute and if you see them you may counterspell. If the casting time is 1 action you must immediately spend your reaction to counterspell or miss your window. You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. The key here is interrupt.

When do you change your list of prepared spells?

The ability to change prepared spells reads: You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cleric spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

How long does it take for a spell to be readied?

To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires concentration. If your concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking effect.

How long can a spell be held before it’s released?

To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires concentration (explained in chapter 10). So holding onto the spell now only requires concentration. Actually releasing the readied spell, requires a reaction. This reaction can be re-enabled by future use of the Ready action.

Can a caster counterspell another caster’s spell?

Closed 3 years ago. If caster A (for example a wizard) casts a spell on their turn, and it is Counterspelled by another caster B, can the original caster Counterspell the first Counterspell? I am assuming that it is legal to Counterspell a Counterspell if it is done by different individuals, though please correct me if I’m wrong.

Can a wizard use a counterspell on a cantrip?

This means, if the mentioned spell cast by the wizard uses the bonus action you can only use cantrips which use your action in your turn. Counterspell does not fulfill these requirements. So, you could not counterspell a counterspell on a bonus action spell cast by yourself. Second, can you use your reaction in your own turn?

Is there a rule against counterspell on your turn?

Counterspell is a reaction spell, there is no rule against taking a reaction on your turn.

What happens after a spell is cast on You?

On the contrary, if a spell was cast on you, you might feel different, brand new. You can feel a little bit out of energy but, at the same time, you can feel like you are part of something bigger and you should keep believing in the process even after you perform the spell.

Can you cast a cantrip on the same turn as a spell?

You can’t cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action. However, if you don’t cast a bonus-action spell on a turn, your ability to cast other spells (including reaction spells) is not restricted on that turn.

When can you counterspell when you see the caster?

You can cast counterspell at the moment you see the caster. Interpreting “when you see” as an instantaneous event happening right when the caster comes into vision removes the ambiguity completely, and seems (to me) to at least be a valid English reading of the phrase if not the most natural one.

Can you cast magic missile and Counterspell at the same time?

However, if you have a feature like action surge that gives you two actions, you can cast two 1 action spells with the 2 actions you get. In the case of the ek, you could cast magic missile, action surge, and cast magic missile again. Never DM for a group of spellcasters with Counterspell who then face enemies who also have Counterspell.

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.
