But you can indeed use it to cast a spell.Action Surge is not considered a bonus action. I can see how that would be confusing, though.The way it works is that normally, you get one action on your turn. You are also allowed to use one ability that gives you a bonus action on your turn. Action Surge allows you to take another action on your turn, and it does not count as a bonus action, so you get:a) Your regular action.b) A second action from Action Surge.c) The option to use one ability that grants a bonus action.War Magic is an example of an ability that grants a bonus action. You can use it once per round, with the restriction that you can't use any other bonus actions that round. But, since Action Surge is not a bonus action, you could use War Magic and Action Surge on the same round:1. (Regular action) Cast a cantrip.2. (Action Surge) Do something else.3. (War Magic bonus action) Make one weapon attack.</blockquote>
