Like, imagine Fireball can only be cast once per extended rest, and your extended rest is 10 days. What does that mean about how Fireball and spells like it are prepared? It essentially takes 10 days to "cast" fireball, to prepare the rituals, to gather the manna, to get enough guano, to make sure the stars are in line, to bind the energies, and to lock them away into your mind. Once everything is prepared, it just takes a moment to unleash all that pent up energy.During an extended rest like this, presumably you are also doing other things (whatever downtime lets you do!), you're just also preparing your spells again.That sets an interesting and involved tone for magic like that -- magic that takes weeks to set up and cast. Reality can be broken with a wave of the hand, but it takes preparation to do that. This gives the "per encounter" spellcasting of the warlock or the sorcerer (which might be "daily" as my short rests are 8 hours) a dangerous frequency that the wizard would likely be jealous of. The wizard needs to carefully conduct research and ritual. The warlock just asks his friend for his favor for the day.</blockquote>
