| Arcane spellcasters do not need to "prepare" spells. Casting a spell requires a spellcasting check, at least one free hand, and some magic components or a [[wands|focus]]. Spells are more or less powerful, noted by spell level. Failing the check triggers a [[mishap|mishap with unintended consequences]], and the spellcaster can’t attempt spells of that spell spell level again until they take a safe rest. | Arcane spellcasters do not need to "prepare" spells.
