Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9762699" data-attributes="member: 7030563">The word "Action" which never appears like that with a capital A anywhere in the text.EXACTLY you lose the action if you don't use your Reaction!You say the Reaction completes the Magic action when you ready the spell and if you don't take the Reaction then you would not get to take the Magic action.  But you did cast a spell ....  so you cast a spell without using the Magic action!You already cast the spell, that part is done and over with and has no bearing on what happens afterwards.   Yes if you don't use it you don't get to take the action, so then you don't get to take the Magic action then you would have cast a spell without using the Magic action.  If I lose the Magic action then I did not take the Magic action.The action chosen with Ready is not the only thing you can do with your Reaction.  I can Ready a spell and then decide I want to take an opportunity attack if one presents itself, or I can Ready a spell and then cast Shield if somebody hits me with a weapon. Or a Glamour Bard can do Matle of Inspiration and I decide I want to use a Reaction to move.  In these cases I take another action with my Reaction instead of using it to "release the energy".If I am to believe you I would need to take 3 different actions here.  Take Ready as an action, then I have to take the Magic action to cast a spell then a third action as my Reaction and in all of these examples I already cast the spell on my turn.</blockquote>
