-NOTE: enemy spellcasting does not necessarily cause you to enter combat, meaning you don't automatically roll for initiative. Spellcasting can only target those in the same room. If you need to be in the same room and the spellcaster is aggressive, unless you are a particularly quick typer, it will probably be necessary to queue up entering the room immediately followed by an attack command in order to cause the initiative roll before the spellcaster can do any casting. Once in combat/initiative, spellcasting works like any other attack (one per pass, in order from highest to lowest intiative). Most MUD clients have some way to queue commands, or you can make an alias (see: HELP ALIAS). If the enemy spellcaster is using improved invisibility, you don't pass the spell resistance check, and you don't have astral perception, you will need to use ultrasound to detect them. If the spellcaster has friends in the same room that you can shoot from outside the room, do that first, as their deaths will increase the room's background count, which applies a TN penalty to spellcasting.
