A lot of the scenarios I have seen are very white room and have some assumptions that I have doubts about in actual practise. My inclination at this point would be to allow it but with the caveat that if it becomes a problem I will revisit In this case, two characters are taking a magic action in the first round and if damaged must make a concentration check, unless they win initiative or the secondary caster uses delay to act after the primary. Either way the fighter is not attacking in the first round.  Then unless the fighter is going to run away and hide they are going to be hit a lot taking concentration saves each time to keep that spell running. Nope, it is 10 feet per secondary caster and a spell slot per secondary caster. So the 25' lightning bolt needs 2 secondary casters and 2 extra spell slots to cast that extra wide bolt. Which is better, 2 greases and a web or 3 casters doing a 25' lightning bolt? Or Conjure Animals, Fear and Hypnotic Pattern, instead?I also think I would not allow spontaneous no prep circle casting unless they had planned and rehearsed it beforehand. I am not saying it is not powerful but there I think that there are individual spells more powerful with less effort and am reluctant to condemn it outright.</blockquote>
