If you do not specify an optional parameter, what happens depends upon the command and the context.</P> <P>The above would let you issue <B>cast 'armor' bubba</B> (which would cast the spell upon Bubba) or <B>cast 'armor'</B> (which would cast the spell upon yourself).</P> <P>Note that the quotes are not required here, as the spell name is a single word. While <B>cast armor</B> would work, <B>cast word of recall</B> would not.</P> <PRE> <B>bank balance</B> <B>bank deposit</B> gold <B>bank withdraw</B> gold </PRE> <P>This describes three varients of the bank command used to check your bank balance (<B>bank balance</B>) to deposit gold coins into the bank (<B>bank deposit 100</B>) and to withdraw money from the bank (<B>bank withdraw 50</B>).</P> </BODY>
