Regaining spells

Post by adminfoo »

Hi folks!
I've got a question about regaining spells.
According to page 110 about regaining spells, there's this paragraph:
Each spell’s casting table will indicate “lost” or “not lost”
in each result entry. A result of “lost” means your character
cannot cast that spell again in that day. “Not lost” means
the character retains the use of that spell. Generally, only
wizard spells are lost when a casting fails.
In the spell check results for the individual spells, I see that the vast majority have 'Lost' in the 1, and the 2-11 results rows, but I don't see 'Not lost' in any of the other results. I'm assuming that if I don't see a 'Lost' in the effect description it means the spell is still available for casting. Is this correct?

Thanks!

Yes; if it's not Lost it's still present and available.

Usually if you fail, the spell is lost, if you succeed, you can keep casting it. There are a few exceptions, when you don't loose the spell, despite your failure - like Wizard staff's result for 12-13.
