You have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a level 1 and a level 2 spell in your spellbook that have a casting time of an action. You always have those spells prepared, and you can cast them at their lowest level without expending a spell slot. To cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend a spell slot.
Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can study your spellbook and replace one of those spells with an eligible spell of the same level from the book.
- Just like the title says; Does this mean no Shield, Absorb Elements, Jump etc.?
2024 rules : the spell must have a casting time of an action. If the casting time is different then it does not qualify. So, no Misty Step since it uses a bonus action not an action, no absorb elements or shield spells because they use a reaction, - for the jump spell, the 2014 version is fine as that uses an action but the 2024 version is not because it now uses a bonus action.
The 2014 rules were more lenient in that it didn't matter what casting time was. This meant infinite use of things like mage armour, shield, etc and resource free full recharge of Abjuration's Arcane Ward feature. It was therefore rather powerful and abusable.
The change in 2024 reprint was to curb that power spike and also avoid new exploits with the updated rules about casting multiple spells per turn.
