	So a Bard can generate flares from the runestaff, but only by issuing two commands (such as "prep 1030"/"cast at warrior") rather than only one (by having previously targeted a creature, either directly with the 'target' verb or by having attacked/cast at that particular creature, and using "renew 1030").
	This means the Bard needs to be aware of being subject to the vagaries of internet connectivity if trying to take advantage of a flaring runestaff.
