After they have been casting significantly they need to rest/sleep. As far as I am concerned the need to meet the following requirments to get back spells. Rest/sleep in one stretch not 4 hours stand watch then 4 hours.Rest is same as sleep as long as you get 50% of each. Rest is considered to be time that you could be sleeping if you wanted to so no watch, no cooking dinner, talking is okay, fiddling around, meditating etc is okay if you could lay down and go to sleep anytime you wanted. I am not a stickler for the exact time as I am seldom in my game since accurate time pieces are seldom around Guestimation is what the characters do accurate within 30 minutes during the day and sometimes at night. (Time telling by the sun is a skill we have lost but is fairly accurate when it is all you have as we have also lost the skill of time estimation since when we guess and are 15 minutes off we think this is a lot)Sometimes its unrealistic but since it mainly affects casters I make it part of the Rules of magic so it is a fantasy element. Also remembering to keep as little modern thinking out of it as possible. Once night falls in olden times things stopped happening in a lot of eras.later</blockquote>
