Cast

From ProphWiki

Syntax:

• cast <spell> [<target>]

As with skills, you have a percentage ability in all spells you can cast. The higher this percentage, the lower the chance of it failing outright. You may find it useful to practice it, to raise the chance from the initial 1%.

Casting spells costs mana. The mana cost may decrease somewhat as your level increases, depending on the spell.

The target may be optional, depending on the spell. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate default target, especially during combat.

If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name, for example, "cast 'cure critic' frag". Quoting is optional for single-word spells. You can abbreviate the spell name (but be careful of ambiguity!)

When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw. The effect of the spell is often reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the saving throw successfully.
