Description
You and up to five willing creatures within 5 feet of you instantly teleport to a previously designated sanctuary. You and any creatures that teleport with you appear in the nearest unoccupied space to the spot you designated when you prepared your sanctuary (see below). If you cast this spell without first preparing a sanctuary, the spell has no effect. You must designate a location, such as a temple, as a sanctuary by casting this spell there.

School Fit
Conjurations move matter and creatures through space. Half the school summons; the other half teleports. The school tag on Word of Recall is obvious from the effect — the spell places matter or creatures into the world that were not there before the cast. Level-6 slots are rare; Word of Recall earns its cast when the fight truly needs it.
Class Fit
- Cleric: Domain-bonus spells fill some of the Cleric's prep automatically; check whether the chosen Domain already grants Word of Recall before manual prepping. At 5 feet, Word of Recall stays usable from the caster's typical positioning.
Tactical play (Doungim editorial)
Cleric; instantly teleport with up to 5 allies to a designated sanctuary. Pre-cast at the temple before the dungeon delve.
