[QUOTE="briggart, post: 9217177, member: 6805135"] The SA entry specifically refers to SCAG, but the document itself also refers to Tasha's. It's not clear to me if this means that the GFB clarification is intended to also apply to Tasha's version of the spell, or just to the original one, but my opinion is that the SA clarified the intent of the original wording, and the new wording is an attempt at making that intent clearer as new RAW. Regarding the S/M component, "free" to me is not meant in an absolute way, rather in a relative way as "free from anything not related to the casting of the spell". Otherwise, you would get to paradoxical situations, e.g.: if you already have the M component of the spell in hand before you decide to cast the corresponding spell, that hand is clearly not free, so it cannot be used to handle the M component.
