	The ~~'''~~PREPARE~~'''~~ verb is used to prepare a [[spell]], which readies it in the [[character]]'s mind for casting. Such preparation is instantaneous, and the verb is largely a hold-over from the past when spell preparation induced [[cast roundtime]]. The verb became largely unneeded with the implementation of the [[INCANT (verb)\|INCANT]] verb and the associated INCANT SET options for [[CHANNEL]] and [[EVOKE]], though it is still useful for [[CAST (verb)#Multi-casting\|multi-casting]] or spells with non-standard casting mechanics. Once a spell is prepared, it may either be released by means of the [[RELEASE (verb)\|RELEASE]] verb, or cast by means of the [[CAST (verb)\|CAST]] verb. If not manually released or cast, the spell will automatically release after 30 seconds, expending mana.

	When preparing a spell, you can do so in the standard fashion that any other Sorcerer would. You also have the choice to use your own knowledge of spell preparation to do things a little differently. Some special preparations only work for a specific spell; others will work for an entire circle of spells. Rarely, a method may be devised that will work for all spells.
