Gale's "always prepared spell"

[Vagician]

So as I was leveling up Gale I had an option to make a spell "always prepared". So i selected magic missile thinking it would become an action spell. However, now I only can use magic missile once until I have a long rest again. Is this meant to happen? How do i change or fix it?

It doesnt turn it into an action spell? It just means you don't have to prepare it. https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Spells#Prepared_Spells

I take a long rest and it prepares. Then I only can use it once until I take a long rest again. It no longer uses charges so i cant spam it even though its a level 1 spell

I found the issue. When picking a feat the one for wizard allows a single spell to be used each partial rest. However, if you pick a spell already in use then you can no longer use it multiple times.
