Ritual spells

A spell with the ritual tag can be cast as a ritual: it takes 10 minutes longer and doesn’t spend a spell slot. 29 spells in the SRD have the tag.

How ritual casting works

In the 2014 rules, clerics, druids and bards can ritual-cast rituals they have prepared or know; wizards can ritual-cast any ritual in their spellbook, even if it isn’t prepared. Warlocks need the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation. The ritual version can’t be cast at a higher level. In the 2024 rules any spellcaster can cast a ritual spell they have prepared, and wizards can still cast rituals from their spellbook without preparing them.

Rituals are the cheapest utility in the game: Alarm, Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, Find Familiar and Identify cost nothing but time.
