You don't cast it as a Reaction, you use the Ready action. It still uses an action to cast.

What has changed is holding the energy, requireing concentration and using the Ready action. No you use the Ready action as described in the description of Ready action under the paragraph on Ready a spell.

I gave multiple examples of how you can cast spells with a casting time of an action without using the Magic action. FIFY

You must cast it as normal except for what is changed in the description of Ready a spell. It is not "normal" to hold the energy until released, it is not "normal" to concentrate on a spell that does not require concentration, and it is not "normal" to cast a spell on your turn using the Ready...

Yes you can I gave you numerous examples before Am 18th level Eldritch Knight CAN cast hold Person using the attack action A Glamour Bard CAN cast Command using a Bonus action A Valor CAN cast Truestrike using the attack action Any caster CAN cast a spell using the Ready action

This is the same as Ready a Spell. When you Ready a spell you use the Ready action to do it, as per the description of the Ready action. Also what about an Eldritch Knight that uses an attack action to cast Hold Person? It doesn't say in there "it changes the casting time". There are...

When you Ready a spell, you cast it as normal (expending any resources used to cast it) but hold its energy, which you release with your Reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of an action, and holding on to the spell’s magic requires Concentration...

Yes, just like Ready a spell.

You do cast the spell on your turn. I am not saying you don't. But you are mixing up Magic aciton and casting a spell. There are numerous things that you can do with a Magic action besides casting a spell and when you do those things it works like any other Ready action. It is ONLY casting a...

So you don't think a Sorcerer can use a Bonus action to cast a Quickened Fireball?

For me it is the other way around, Ranger has some specific features (and especially subclass features) that I can't get from another class or can only get in very limited ways that don't work well.

In the 2024 rules there is no prohibition about causing direct harm. You can stand in the sunlight and Command a Vampire to "Approach" and he will come right into the sunlight and die on a failed save. For the level, it is probably the most OP spell in 2024 (although Tasha's Laughter is right...

Specific language just like "Ready a spell" does

I disagree. No this is complete nonsese. Now you are just making stuff up. There is not a carve out for the Magic action, nothing in the Ready action says Magic actions work differently or that you take them on your turn when you Ready the Magic action. If you ready the Magic action you...

Cleary not! I gave you numerous examples of how you can cast a spell with a casting time of an action without using the Magic action, Ready a spell is just one more way to do it.

No it doesn't. Ready is an action. You can Ready a magic action, but you can't do that to cast a spell. There are specific rules for spells. But when you use the Ready action, the action occurs later during the trigger. That does not happen in this case because you cast the spell on your...

I agree with this and you can't cast two spells which use a slot, I don;t think anyone is arguing you can. But there are plenty of spells that you can cast without using slots through numerous methods.

Most of the time and there are numerous exceptions when that is not the case. There are many ways of a casting a spell with a casting time of an action without using the Magic action. Ready a spell is one of these exceptions as clearly spelled out in the description.

Ready does spell out how it works and "normal" does not mean "use the Magic action: ESPECIALLY since ready does not allow you to take a second action on your turn. The only thing ready says about the magic action is that you can use the Ready action to "prepare" a Magic action, but then it goes...

No the exceptions I am talking about are spells with a casting time as an Action. For example, a Fighter can use the Attack action, not a magic action, to cast Hold Person (a spell with a casting time of an action), a Glamour Bard can cast Command (a spell with a casting time of an action) with...
