      This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Makes sense, in other magic systems, casters often have to recite the spell for a long ass time before casting. Would suck for DnD tho, imagine waiting 5 rounds of your friends taking a long ass time to do something basic while you stand there murmuring
That's the fluff of how the Vancian spellcasting worked for wizards in 3.5, and I keep it as my headcanon for 5th as well. It's not perfect, but is better than "whoops, forgot how to cast the spell even though I have my book of cheat sheets right in front of me!"
