| Skilled casters can modify spells they cast to suit their needs.
Any meta-magic effect (except reliable) applied to a spell doubles its casting cost.
For the 'chain spell' metamagic effect, casting time is doubled as well.
The benefits of the different meta-magic effects are listed below.
extend: Increases duration by 50%.
empower: Increases caster level by 12.5% and damage/healing by 25%.
quicken: Reduces casting time by half (minimum half a round).
chain: Spell affects all enemies or allies. For non-primary targets,
the caster level is reduced by factor 3/4.
reliable: No concentration loss from low skill. Increases mana cost and lag based on
chance of concentration loss. Requires no skill, but cannot be used during combat.
Syntax: mmcast [cepqr] <spell name> [other args]
To apply only a single meta-magic effect, the following aliases can be used:
ecast, pcast, qcast, ccast, rcast
Syntax: ecast <spell name> [other args]
Note: Arcana stance and empower don't "stack". If you empower a drac spell,
being in arcana stance won't increase damage and mana cost further.
Example: mmcast pq 'dispel magic' snake
