Cast (Wizard ability)

Usage:

cast <spell name> [at <target>]

This command allows you to cast magic spells that you know. To cast any spells, you need to have a staff in your hand.

This is primarily a wizard ability. Successful casting is mostly based on the control magic skill, while to ensure the spell completes (particularly in combat) you will need high concentration.

Due to the concentration required, attempting to do something else while casting will abort your spell. There are some standard MUD commands that you can use, however:

alias	align	armour	brief	bug
cease	charinfo	charset	chfn	clan
color	comm	commend	comms	conninfo
consider	daytime	describe	dev	do
emote	enc	enemy	er	faq
focus	fr	friend	glance	gm
go	guild	guildinfo	hands	harass
help	history	hp	hpq	idea
ignore	inventory	kudo	languages	laston
law	legend	legendinfo	look	merciful
mission	mudtime	mudvote	mutter	news
party	party	passwd	plea	privacy
prop	ptcomm	quests	read	removetag
respond	rpscore	save	say	score
set	settings	shape	shout	skills
snoopable	speak	spells	stop	story
storyedit	surname	survey	tag	tell
tellhist	telloff	tellon	tradeskills	trigger
typo	unalias	undescribe	unignore	unset
untag	updates	uptime	verbose	vote
wanted	warnings	whisper	who	wimpy

Typing anything else will cancel the spell, if the command you type succeeds (as opposed to, say, trying to bash an non-existent door). Additionally, typing 'cease' will cancel casting without needing to perform another command.

EP cost for casting a spell varies wildly between them; see spell-specific help for details (help spell <spell name>). If you have an item enchanted with the spell you are trying to cast in your inventory, the spell will be cast using that item and it will be consumed.
