How to learn

Other ways to learn:

• After becoming a Partial-Illithid, unlock from the illithid power skill tree with a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen after obtaining one of the following:
  •  Shield of Thralls
  •  Mind Sanctuary

Notes

• If you have every equipment slot occupied in the character that has Freecast and proceed to unequip anything, Freecast will come back even if you had used it already and haven't Long Rested. In other words, you can infinitely use Freecast for every action out of combat. During combat, reequiping takes an action so you won't be able to cast during the same round.
  • A spellcaster with two levels of Sorcerer can use this bug to gain unlimited spell slots and sorcery points, as freecast will remove the cost of Create Spell Slot and Create Sorcery Points
• If an action takes more than one type of resource, e.g., Metamagic Quicken Spell with any spell that isn't a cantrip, both costs are removed.
• Prior to Patch 6, this feature did not remove Channel Oath costs.
