CASTING CAST

Usage: CAST [force] <spell name> [damage level] [target]


There are many different ways to use the cast command. Careful reading of this help file is
recommended.

Force is the force you wish to cast the spell at, this is optional. Leaving this value out will mean
you cast the spell at the maximum force you know. You cannot cast a spell at a force higher than you 
know it.

The spell name can either be typed as one word on its own, or as multiple words in quotes. Refer to
the examples at the bottom of the file for more help.

Damage level is only used in spells that cause damage. You have the choice of the standard Shadowrun
damage levels of Light, Moderate, Serious and Deadly. This affects how much damage the spell does 
and also how much drain you take.

The target of the spell can be any valid target, not all spells require a target.

Here are some examples:
< 10P 10M > cast 3 Invisibility self
This will cast the spell Invisibility at a force of 3 on yourself.
< 10P 10M > cast 3 "Improved Invisibility" self
This will cast the spell Improved Invisibility at a force of 3 on yourself.
< 10P 10M > cast light
The light spell doesn't require a target, so using this syntax is fine.
< 10P 10M > cast manabolt serious lonestar
This will cast the manabolt spell at a Lone Star officer with a base damage of Serious.

Note that you can RITUALCAST spells to achieve maximum successes. See HELP RITUALCAST for more.
