Requiring the right spell, at least ten minutes and if required the material components is not a yes option
Need advice for D&D
Don't play D&D
Well, it sorta is. It's not like 4e where they made you actually roll skills for your rituals (On top of all of those things). If you can case a ritual, you'll succeed every attempt. As an int 8 wizard, drunk off his face and blind still can't fail to cast a ritual.
That's what the short rest is for. It restores HP and most martial combat stuff, but the only caster that really benefits from short rests that much is the warlock (though others do get some things restored).
The party will be taking short rests more often, but that's to be expected.
Are you here to discuss the subject or are you here to start fights?

There's your fight, now fuck off.

Not really. Short rests are in an awkward place where they are not really much more feasible than long rests.
The number of situations where you can take a 1 hour break but are also prevented from taking an 8 hour break are highly limited. Adventurer's Guilds don't come with union-protected lunch breaks.

Average D&D poster, everyone
Avoid D&D like the plague, its the my little pony of role playing, OP.
Average D&D hater everyone, cannot comprehend when he is being mocked and insulted
Actually, wizards, get arcane recovery, which allows them to restore some of their spell slots once per day.
In fact, it's even easier for a wizard to get a short rest in because of rope trick.
It's still better than a *action* autist.
