In Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, ritual spells are a unique type of spell that can be cast without expending a spell slot. Instead, they require a longer casting time of at least 10 minutes, and the caster must provide the material components for the spell.
Ritual spells are often used for utility purposes, such as creating a safe haven or identifying magical items, but they can also be used to great effect in combat. For example, the spell Tiny Hut can create a dome of force that provides shelter from the elements and protects the caster and their allies from attack, while the spell Detect Magic can reveal the presence of magical auras, traps, and creatures.
