• Components
  • Material

Spells require components to cast, these range from the cheap and readily available, to the expensive.

• Verbal - Requires words. Affected by silencing.
• Somatic - Requires gestures, must be unrestrained.
• Material - Requires reagents

Some classes have abilities that enable them to use a spellcasting focus or component pouch in place of components, unless the component has a cost.

• A cheap component might be 'sulfur'
• A gold component might be 'a jewel worth at least 1,000GP'

Reagents can be consumed, i.e. they're use-once.

• The spell says if the component is consumed, e.g. revivify uses up the diamond(s) you need as a gold component
