And the innate magic elsewhere, such as that prevalent in the Fey setting also lacks spell components. I have never had a problem.Oppositely, I find the spell components that get listed in each spell to be unnecessary, superfluous, clumsy, and disruptive to various flavors of spellcasters.I would rather every spell in 2024 delete reference to spell components.Instead, each class (and sometimes subclass) has its own method to cast spells.I want to see ...Bards only use a Verbal component for every spell. Except a certain subclass might use Somatic gestures via "dance" instead. An other subclass uses a musical instrument as as Material Focus, instead.Druids only use Material components, typically herbal potions.Clerics use Verbal prayers along with any visual linguistic Symbol as a Material Focus.Sorcerers only use Somatic gestures, to wield the magic of their own bodies.And so on.The spell itself should have nothing to do with spell components. It is the flavor of the class that should define how a character casts spells.</blockquote>
