The more you practice, the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana. The mana cost decreases as your level increases. <br>The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an appropriate default target, especially during combat. <br>If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name. <p>Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells. <p>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. <p>See also the help sections for individual spells. <p><b>Syntax: cast '<spell>' [<target>]</b> </body> </html>
