* If cast by a {{Class|Cleric}}, the spell should remain [[Spells#Prepared Spells|Prepared]].

If cast with a [[Scroll_of_Speak_with_Dead|scroll]] or item, the caster does not need to keep this spell Prepared, and will be able to use Recast Speak with Dead until their next Long Rest. | * If cast by a {{Class|Cleric}}, the spell should remain [[Spells#Prepared Spells|Prepared]].
