| May 26 at 23:45 | comment | added | TheFallen0ne | @ProphetZarquon "The spell is frozen in time at the moment of casting and held within a gray bead for 1 hour." "and the spell treats the creature who released it as the caster for all other purposes." While you may have "cast" the spell to put it in the bead, it is frozen at that moment. A creature uses its action to release it from its bead, at which point that creature is treated as if it had cast the spell 'for all other purposes.' That would, in plain english, also include for the purposes of when the spell is actually released or, "cast." (Fortunate for duration-based spells.) | |

I think your answer will be very DM dependent, because the words don't say the meaning you've described. Even so, I can see the reasoning; I'm just not sure the answer as currently written applies to the RAW. | |
| May 24 at 7:29 | comment | added | TheFallen0ne | @ProphetZarquon Any time you use Arcane Abeyance, the result is a bead. A bead can't be put in a glyph. The bead isn't a spell until you use your action to release it, it is a distinct object. Any iteration of events whereby a bead enters the glyph is impossible, because the glyph doesn't store a spell-turned-into-a-bead, it stores a spell. The context of the spell being frozen in time cannot ignore the rest of the feature specifically telling you that it is now a discrete, inanimate object rather than a spell, complete with AC and a hit point total until released with an action. | |
| May 23 at 20:40 | comment | added | ProphetZarquon | 'you must store the spell as part of creating the glyph' this was one of my doubts. Yet, "When you cast a spell using a spell slot" & "the spell is frozen in time" & "release the spell" all imply a spell which has been cast, with Arcane Abeyance delaying the effects of the already cast spell; do you mean that storing the spell in the glyph will preempt one's ability to apply Arcane Abeyance? Based on your current answer, I don't understand how an effect-mod like Arcane Abeyance would preempt the glyph, since the glyph goes first. Would a spell glyph preclude any-&-all metamagic use? | |
