My friend explained the spoon theory to our DM and he was like âohhh so itâs like when youâre out of spell slots and you need to take a long rest to regain them allâ and now I keep thinking of myself as being out of spell slots instead of out of spoons
Itâs perfect actually because taking a shower is like a 2nd level task, whereas making an important phone call is a 5th. If youâre out of 5th level task slots, you canât do that phone call. However you can expend higher level slots to take that shower if youâve spent your lower task slots on dishes, eating, and getting dressed.
Browsing social media is a cantrip
I actually say this all the time!
Also if you donât finish a long rest (ie sleep well, taking your meds as directed etc) you do not regain spell slots and the next day youâre working with what you had left over from yesterday
there are also ritual spells ! where if youâre allowed enough time and a comfortable, quiet environment you might be able to accomplish something without loosing a spell slot ! đ
I love the additions here
And there are some spells youâre never going to be able to cast, because your class doesnât allow for it. Sure, you can maybe level up to the point where you can take a feat and learn one or two of spells - if youâre in a campaign that allows feats - but for the most part, if itâs not on your list, itâs not on your list, and thatâs all there is to it. No matter how simple it seems to someone else, or how useful it would be to you.
