I've been reading quickened spell and wanted to know if I can cast 2 times the spell Fireball because on page 102 of PHB:
When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can
spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action
for this casting.
on page 202 it states :
A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a
bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't
already taken a bonus action this turn. You can't cast another spell
during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1
action.
but we all know that Specific beats general and Quickened spell is the specific rule so there should be no problem casting 2 fireballs in my own turn?
Best Answer
No.
Quickened spell does not remove the limitation of casting a spell as a bonus action. What quickened spell does do is exactly as it says, taking a 1 action spell and making it a bonus action for this one specific casting. In the quickened spell block it does not lift the restriction for casting two spells.
