Verb:INCANT

INCANT is a verb which combines both the preparation and casting or channeling of a spell into one command. Cast roundtime is incurred normally. Unlike the CAST verb, INCANT can not be used to specify a target at the time of casting. However, one can specify targets for INCANT by using the TARGET command.

• INCANTing offensive magic without a set target will default to the first available living creature. Further incants will continue being aimed at the original target until it is no longer available (dead or left the area).
• INCANTing defensive magic without a set target will default to one's self.
• It is recommended to TARGET CLEAR after casting magic at another player, so that INCANTing in the field does not accidentally target them.

For channel-type verbs, to change the default behaviour of encant, use "set CHANNELINCANT [on|off]" or through StormFront's advanced option features.
