Like i have said, i would myself have no problem allowing you to cast Misty as a 1A and then surge fireball using your bonus action up for grabs for non-spell use and your reactions free. You used an example where dash is being used presumably by a character who can dash as a bonus action - and such a character can **still** dash as a normal action as well as using it as a bonus action - a flexibility blocked from BA casting time spells for some reason i myself do not understand.I do not think anybody is arguing how good the rule is or that it is anything but an odd and quirky restriction with definite inconsistencies in what it allows and what it disallows.But, what at least seems to be true about it is it seems this latest "confirmation" keeps to what the restriction says in the books, that casting a bonus action limits what spell can be cast on your turn to a 1 action cantrip as opposed to what some others had been ruling which was that action surge ended that restriction by giving you an additional action still on your same turn. This latest bit is also consistent with how sneak attack works. The extra action from surge does not somehow lift the "in your turn" limit for sneak.</blockquote>
