Message: <blockquote data-quote="Symphony" data-source="post: 5395319" data-attributes="member: 100173">"spells per day"This one goes out to all the people harping, "spells per day".  Read it and consider with care.Experiment #1 (or what happens most of the time in almost every game):Typically, human wizard goes to sleep at night, gets his required 8 hours of sleep and simultaneously gets 8 hours of uninterrupted rest.  Typically, he spends the first hour of his day memorizing his spells for that day.  Hence, the concept of spells per day.Typically, he would cast a spell or two here a spell or two there, and maybe a bunch of spells somewhere else.  The point being he uses his spells at different times throughout the day until night falls and he decides to rest.  Again, he typically sleeps for 8 hours and simultaneously satisfies 8 hours of uninterrupted rest.  He memorizes his spells during his first waking hour of the next day and is there after free to cast his spells during that day…He is typically allowed to do this even if he spent almost all of yesterday's spells just before he went to sleep and even if he proceeds to use all of his spells for the next day immediately after memorizing them.  I have never played in a group that did not allow this and I have never heard of a group that doesn't allow this.  As far as I know, "spells per day" has never ever been taken to mean spells per 24 period.Kudos to you if you do have a group that does it differently.Experiment #2:A wizard in New York City, USA wakes up at dawn after a nice uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep and memorizes his spells before gathering a few extra purchases for the day's endeavors (more on that later).While the US wizard, takes care of some mundane business, dawn comes to Sydney, Australia where another wizard wakes up after a nice refreshing uninterrupted 8 hours of sleep and spends an hour memorizing his spells for the day.  Not long after the Australian wizard finishes his memorization, the US wizard Greater Teleports in and the two fight a duel expending all their spells except for the Greater Teleport the US wizard uses to return to New York City.  Each wizard immediately decides to take a nice long uninterrupted  8 hour sleep.  However, the US wizard takes his rest during the night in New York City whereas the Australian wizard takes his rest during the day in Sydney.  Does the Australian wizard get his spells back or not?Regardless, the US wizard rememorizes in the morning and immediately Greater Teleports over to Sydney to kick some butt.If the Australian wizard has not regained his spells, he might as well start praying for a Miracle...The rules laid out under "Recent Casting Limit/Rest Interruptions" clearly state that "all the spells she has cast within the last 8 hours count against her daily limit."  This means that "spells per day" translates as spells per 8 hour period (not 24 hour period).Frankly, who wants to mess with the paper work of memorizing spells but not being able to cast them?<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/ponder.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hmm:" title="Hmmm    :hmm:" data-shortname=":hmm:" /></blockquote>
