Help Cast

Syntax cast <spell> <target>

Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it.  The more
you practice, the higher chance you have of success when casting.
Casting spells costs mana.  The mana cost decreases as your level
increases.

The <target> is optional.  Many spells which need targets will use
an appropriate default target, especially during combat.

If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the
spell name.  Example: cast 'cure critic' frag.  Quoting is optional
for single-word spells.  You can abbreviate the spell name.

When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving
throw.  The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the
victim makes the saving throw successfully.
