EVOKE casts an alternative version of a spell from the standard CAST verb.

Many spells with an evoke version require advanced training in certain skills such as lores. Attempting to EVOKE a spell for which a character does not have the prerequisite training for the evoke version will result in the standard version of the spell being cast.

To automatically evoke a spell when using INCANT (which combines PREPARE and CAST into a single command): INCANT SET EVOKE {spell}.
