Cast

The prisms in your spellbook give you the power to cast spells.

A spell target is optional most of the time. 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. Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells. You can abbreviate the spell name.

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

When a spell is close to your maximum complexity, it may fizzle. Fizzling gives the spell a negative (and sometimes positive) effect bonus.

• In combat your spells do not cast themselves: keep casting every round, just as fighters keep typing jab.
