Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9580623" data-attributes="member: 7030563">No, the casting time of the Cantrip itself is an Action, you just are not using the Magic Action to cast it, you are using the attack action to cast it.Actually, you have this backwords if the casting time of the spell itself changed you couldn't cast it as part of the attack action:LEVEL 6: EXTRA ATTACK You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action in place of one of those attacks.The fact that you are using the Cantrip to replace an attack means it has a casting time of one action.If the casting time of the cantrip changed then you would be in a vicious circle.  You can only use Cantrips with a casting time of an action with the Bladesinger Extra Attack (and the similar Valor Bard and Eldritch Knight abilities).  If the Truestrike Cantrip does not have a casting time of one action then it is not a Cantrip I can use with that Extra Attack feature.Sure.  but that is fundamentally different.  If the wording said when you use a Magic Action to cast a Cast a spell ...... then you would be correct and it would not trigger when cast with the attack action, but that is not what it says.I expect the wording will change in the final version.</blockquote>
