@JeremyECrawford How does Readying a spell work? Do you lose your spell slot if the trigger effect never occurs?

A readied spell's slot is lost if you don't release the spell with your reaction before the start of your next turn. https://t.co/0K59zeZLjX

@EZotor_23So you would not be able to maintain concentration into the following turn. It’s release at target or spell just disapates? You can maintain your concentration on the readied spell until the start of your next turn, no longer.

@JeremyECrawford "As a DM, I would allow the caster to use his or her action on a subsequent turn to keep the spell ready."?!

That's, indeed, what I do as DM, but that's my house rule, not an official rule. https://t.co/n8mTd0bbWx

@PaddlerPoet That's what I allow when I DM. It's not official.
