The confusion you ran into with this rule is confusion that I've run into many times as DM, to the point where I have explicitly Houseruled, at my table, that this rule no longer applies in any 5e games I run. I would suggest, out of session, bringing up the rule with your DM (and the rest of your table) and discuss the option of dropping or revising the rule
You just have be more careful about how you apply the metamagic. Moreover, there's no requirement in the rules that a Quickened spell must be cast after a regular spell (or vise-versa) so you could still cast these spells in the order you tried to cast them. If you were to flip it around (Quicken the Cure Wounds and then regularly cast the Eldritch Blast), it would be 100% legal to cast both spells by rules as written. However, Eldritch Blast is a cantrip which requires (normally) an action to cast. The Bonus Action Spellcasting rules, found in the Player's Handbook on page 202, specify that if any spell (cantrip or non-cantrip) is cast as a Bonus Action during a character's turn, then the only spells they are allowed to cast for the rest of that turn are Cantrips that have a casting time of 1 action. Your DM has correctly interpreted the rules but it is possible to cast Eldritch Blast and Cure Wounds in the same turn
If you use Quickened Spell on cure wounds (to cast it as a bonus action) and cast eldritch blast as an action, you'd be fine, ironically. However, cure wounds is not a cantrip, so you can't cast it as an action on the same turn as you cast a bonus-action spell.But you can just quicken the non-cantrip instead You can't cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn. When you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.īut if you cast any spell as a bonus action, the only other spell you cast that turn has to be a cantrip:Ī spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. The sorcerer's Quickened Spell Metamagic option allows you to cast an action spell as a bonus action instead:
The DM is right: You can't cast a leveled spell as an action if you cast any spell as a bonus action
