	This is where things get a little bit rickety for the spell-caster-types. There are Known Spells, Recorded Spells, Memorized Spells, and spells being carried around in other ways. For example: a mage can cast a spell from a proficiency he does not possess, if he has it written on a scroll. Let's try and go over some of the ways a spell can be cast, and how.

	*'''Memorized:'''		*'''Memorized:''' Can be cast instantly from memory(if a fast-cast spell). Memorized slow-cast spells can sometimes be cast without paying spell points. Mages are limited in the number of spells they can memorize at any one time. Spells can be memorized from the Known list or through the Lore proficiency.

			*'''Known:''' Known spells are those learned through the normal process of leveling or memorized through the Lore proficiency.

			*'''Recorded:''' Kept in a spellbook or other method(on a scroll, in a talismen, etc). These spells can be cast if the item they are recorded on is being held by the mage(such as a spellbook equipped to the main hand). All spells cast this way are done at slow-cast speed.

	~~'''''THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DROPPED COMPLETELY! IGNORE IT!'''''~~

	'''NOTES:''' The decision has been made to split spell-casting back out of combat. Where as previously spellcasting used the same system as combat, and before it used a "the same, only different!" system, now it actually uses an entirely different system.

	Magic is not a formula, no cold-calculating equation such as combat. The power is called forth out of need. Now, here's the cold-calculating equation: spellcasting is based on a Will score.

	~~==Flourish==~~
	Spellcasters are allowed and indeed encouraged to [[MPNP Flourish\|flourish]] when casting spells. If it is a spellcasting flourish, then the bonus dice are used to add to the will score. If the flourish is good enough, the GM is welcome to just declare that the spell hits without any further checks.
