Material

Casting some spells requires particular objects, specified in parentheses in the component entry.

A component pouch includes all the needed material components to cast spells, except those that have a gold piece cost shown in the spell.

A Cleric's holy symbol replaces material components, again excepting those with a gold piece cost. If a cost is indicated, a character must purchase that specific component before casting the spell in question.

If a spell specifies that the material component is consumed by the spell, the caster must provide this component for each casting of the spell.

A spellcaster must have a hand free to access these components, but it can be the same hand that they use to perform somatic components.
