Yes. Spellcasting is more strenuous than the activities listed on page 186 of the Player’s Handbook: “eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.”So, does casting a spell seem more or less strenuous than combat? For consistency with JC's ruling on long rests, it would need to be less; but now we have a combat in which casting spells is forbidden, least we interrupt our long rest. Up to an hour of such combat... just so long as no spells are cast. Cantrips are okay?</blockquote>
