Message: <blockquote data-quote="Christian Hoffer" data-source="post: 9566062" data-attributes="member: 6926473">[ATTACH=full]394280[/ATTACH]Circle-casting is returning to Dungeons & Dragons. The Forgotten Realms Player's Guide will contain rules on using circle-casting with Fifth Edition rules, which will allow a group of spellcasters to significantly amp the powers of certain spells or add specific effects. A full description of how the new mechanic would work was not given to EN World, but D&D lead rules designer Jeremy Crawford mentioned during a press event last week that spells could lose its duration of effect, becoming permanent until dispelled. Existing spells, such as fireball, can also be empowered using circle-casting.Circle-casting was first described in the Forgotten Realm Campaign Setting in 2001. The third edition version of circle-casting took an hour to complete and allowed the circle's leader to add temporary levels to their caster level while casting a spell or making a spell level check or add metamagic options to casting a spell. The Red Wizards of Thay and Witches of Rasheman both had access to circle-casting.Spellfire is also returning as a form of sorcery. The new subclass was revealed as part of <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/new-unearthed-arcana-released-with-8-new-forgotten-realms-themed-subclasses.710925/" target="_blank">an Unearthed Arcana playtest</a> released earlier today. Players can use successful counterspells to regain sorcery points and can also empower allies and damage enemies using spellfire effects.</blockquote>
