Many spells in Dungeons & Dragons require components to cast. These represent the sounds, gestures, and objects that channel magical energy. There are three types:
Verbal (V)
The caster speaks mystic words. You must be able to speak aloud and clearly. Silence spells, gags, or effects that prevent speech will block verbal components.
Somatic (S)
The caster performs precise hand gestures. This requires at least one free hand. You can’t perform somatic components if your hands are full, bound, or otherwise restricted.
Material (M)
The caster uses physical substances or objects, such as herbs, powders, or crystals. Most material components can be replaced by a component pouch or a spellcasting focus, unless the spell specifies a cost or says the item is consumed. In those cases, you must have the exact item.
To maintain accuracy and consistency with spellcasting rules, components should be as precise as possible. For spells where components are not consumed upon casting, carrying the appropriate gems or materials is generally considered sufficient for DM approval. Direct any specific questions or edge cases to the DM Team for review.
Spells with a singular component, such as Revivify, are not required to have the Revivify Materials, so long as you have the ingredients to match. This way you can mix and match the value of the ingredients to your hearts content.
