CAST is a verb used to release magical spells. Before being cast, a spell must be prepared by the magic user. If casting a spell on another creature or object, the syntax is CAST PERSON/OBJECT or CAST AT PERSON/OBJECT. If the spell is being self-cast on the caster, just CAST will suffice. Note that the CAST verb does not differentiate between spell types, so using CAST with an offensive spell prepared will release the offensive spell on the caster if no target is specified. CAST TARGET will direct the spell at the user's current target, or select a new target if one is not available.

See INCANT for another verb that can be used to cast spells.
