The spellcast script command is used to cast spells or cancel active spells for an entity. The spell caster is always the entity executing the command. To draw individual runes without actually casting a spell use the drawsymbol command.

To add a spell to the player's list of prepared spells use the precast command.

Usage

spellcast [-dxmsfzo] [d?duration*] <spelllevel*> <spell> <target>
spellcast -k <spell>

Context: Any Entity

Flags:

 -k: Abort the first instance of the given spell for this caster
 -d: Specify a spell duration - otherwise the duration is 1 + <spelllevel> * 2 seconds
 -x: No sound
 -m: Not drawn, no checks
 -s: No animation, no checks
 -f: No mana cost, no checks
 -z: Restore (used for fields in the game world, making sure they appear already casted upon game load)
 -o: Orphan the spell after casting so that will not be affected by changes to the caster (Added in Arx Libertatis 1.2)

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
duration (requires -d) int or variable Spell duration in milliseconds
spelllevel int or variable [1,10] Spellcaster level to cast the spell at
spell string Spell script name
target entity Spell target

The ID of the cast spell can be retrieved using the ^spell system variable which allows the spell to be ended using the destroy command.

⚠️
Active spells are not stored in save files. Any spells that are meant to be persistent (e.g. Create field (Aam Rune (create)Kaom Rune (protection)Spacium Rune (field)) spells that should block the player) need to be re-cast on load in the game_ready event using the -z flag.
