Spell points
Spell points are the resource used for casting spells. The source of these spell points can vary from class to class, such as being drawn from the arcane essence or granted by a divine power.
The table below specifies the progression of available spell points, which differs between classes depending on their reliance on magic.
Here is a summary of how different classes and subclasses are categorized. Each class entry also denotes the category it belongs to:
Full Casters: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard
Half Casters: Ranger, Paladin
Third Casters: Arcane Trickster, Eldritch Knight

Cost of casting a spell
Casting a spell deducts spell points equal to the spell’s level from the character’s total. Ritual casting does not consume spell points. For example, casting a third-level spell like “Fireball” would reduce a character’s spell points by 3.
Regaining spell points
Spell points are regained according to specific class or subclass guidelines, which detail the conditions under which these points are recovered.
