Random fact about dnd: the canon reason you have to "memorize" / ready a limited amount of spells each day is because the previous goddess of magic let everyone cast wathever they could imagine while the goddess used her power to maintain equilibrium (using magic like that causes rifts and chaos, so the goddess was working on that).
All went wrong when a human managed to cast a 12 lvl spell, becoming a god and basically killing that goddess, ending magic and bringing chaos.
Later, the goddess reincarnated (different- same goddess) and to prevent that happening again decided to cap magic to lvl 9, limiting the kind of creatures that could use it, and also limiting the amount of magic that each magic user could use daily (by needing to ready a couple of spells each morning and no more)

Damn, I just love Overlord lore. 😍Kugane Maruyama, author of Overlord covered every nook and cranny. We learn that humans of the new world can't necessarily use wild magic well unlike the tier magic. But we learn later exactly why that is without ever directly addressing it.
Spoilers below
It is later mentioned that wild magic uses HP rather than MP as a source for casting.
It is no surprise that humans of the new world can't use wild magic because their low level HP is not sufficient for powerful wild magic spells. Where as creatures with copious amount of HP like Dragon emperors can utilize greater level spells of wild magic. Albeit doing it at expense of huge human and demi human life sacrifices rather than their own HP.
Funny thing is however, this is never outright mentioned as the reason why humans can't user wild magic. But we are supposed to connect the dots as the reader.

If you are looking for some more primary source Overlord content, there are some Overlord drama CDs and blue-ray bonus content that were released. Here's a playlist that includes a lot of them if you want to learn more: ruclips.net/p/PLzjCeGMXKsSwN2UdB-XX0OmttFqbitctD While its not clear how much the actual stories are canon, the lore is often accurate. And not necessarily the most exciting to react to, but if you don't have time to read the LN or manga these can help fill in gaps.
There are also various omake like the 4 seasons of Ple Ple Pleiades shorts, which I believe others have mentioned before.

You'll be well prepped by the time we can get to the movie.

Overlord's magic system is really just DnD magic applied to a mana system. Most spells in it are literally taken from DnD 3.5e and modified to use mana instead of skill slots.

U should really go into the cut content:')
A looooooooot of interesting thing have been cut out of the anime

I loved DnD but my party switched to Pathfinder 2e partly (Only one of many, MANY reasons ) for the reason of limited spells.
In Pathfinder you have use of basic cantrips that you can cast all day long and they all scale with level so they stay relevant.

Wait did you say you are watching Black Clover? On your channel?

Since this is a Lore reaction, you really need to be full of energy otherwise it will be boring to watch, so in my opinion take your time and don`t push yourself.
