| Nov 10, 2018 at 0:20 | comment | added | V2Blast | @KorvinStarmast: Crawford doesn't seem to have changed his mind in this case. The answer's logic simply doesn't logically follow from the premise. Yes, "Use a Magic Item" is not the "Cast a Spell" action - but you're still casting a spell from the item, so things that are based on you casting a spell can still be used. Most of the other answers accurately reflect this. | |

| Nov 9, 2018 at 17:29 | comment | added | Xirema | This answer should be revised, since tweets from Crawford that have come out in the time since it was written have contradicted this answer. | |

| Nov 30, 2016 at 18:40 | comment | added | Protonflux | The Arcane ward description says "When you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, you can simultaneously use a strand of the spell’s magic to create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish a long rest.". It does not say "when you cast a Wizard abjuration spell..." or otherwise reference where the spell cast must come from, it just says "when you cast an abjuration spell" so this comes down to what counts as RAW. For instance it is clear from the PHB, as it stands, that the wiz/warlock build mentioned is valid (though I don't like it). | |
