Can wizards copy non-wizard spell scrolls?

No, generally a wizard in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D 5e) cannot copy non-wizard spells into their spellbook because they can only learn spells listed on the Wizard spell list, requiring specific time, gold, and spell slots for copying. While you can cast spells from scrolls not on your list (if you have slots), copying them for permanent use in your book is usually restricted to your class's spells, though DMs can allow exceptions or special feats like Ritual Caster for diverse spells.

Can a wizard copy any spell scroll?

Yes, unless the spell is banned. If the spell is not on the wizards spell list then the spell must be researched as if creating a new spell. But this is very time consuming and costly. A wizard can copy wizard spells of 1st or higher level as long as the wizard has spell slots of that level.

Does copying a spell scroll destroy it?

If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed. It doesn't say it costs gold or time like copying from a spellbook but instead might not copy into the book if you fail a check. But it also doesn't say you don't spend gold and time.

Can non-spell casters use spell scrolls?

Can wizards in Harry Potter do wandless magic?

Yes, wizards can cast magic without wands, as wands are tools to focus inherent magical ability, but it's much harder and less controlled, requiring great skill or raw power, common in very young children or highly skilled adults like Dumbledore, and the norm in places like Africa where wands aren't emphasized. Most Hogwarts-trained wizards struggle with it, but powerful figures like Dumbledore, Voldemort, Harry, Hermione, and Snape have performed intentional wandless magic.

What is the most overpowered class in D&D?

The "strongest" D&D class in 5e is often considered the Wizard for raw spell power and versatility at high levels, but the Cleric, Bard, and Druid are strong contenders due to their potent spell lists, support, and unique utility, while Paladins offer incredible burst damage (smites) and martial prowess, making them top-tier. Ultimately, strength depends on playstyle, as Wizards need prep, while Bards excel at skills, and Clerics/Druids offer unique divine/nature magic.

Is a warlock a full caster?

Yes, Warlocks are generally considered full casters in D&D 5e because they gain access to 9th-level spells, but their unique "Pact Magic" system makes them function differently from traditional full casters like Wizards or Sorcerers, relying on frequent short rests to regain their powerful, but limited, spell slots. They trade the high volume of spells other casters get for fewer, higher-level slots that refresh quickly, plus potent cantrips and Invocations, making them powerful but resource-dependent on short rests.
