Syntax

General options

• RELEASE
• RELEASE ALL

Releases all held mana, the spell being prepared, an active cyclic spell, and a cantrip being prepared. TOGGLE RELEASE can make bare RELEASE skip the active cyclic spell. Each effect produces its own result; effects that are not present may also produce separate messages.

• RELEASE SPELL

Releases only the spell being prepared.

• RELEASE CYCLIC

Ends the active cyclic spell. The success message depends on the spell.

• RELEASE MANA

Releases all held mana.

• RELEASE <AMOUNT> MANA

Releases the specified amount of held mana. If that amount equals or exceeds the amount held, all held mana is released.

• RELEASE <SPELL>

Ends the named releasable spell cast on yourself. The success message depends on the spell.

• RELEASE SCROLL <SPELL>

Forgets a spell memorized from an INVOKED scroll. Enter the command a second time within 30 seconds to confirm.

• RELEASE CANTRIP

Releases a cantrip being prepared.

• RELEASE <CAMBRINTH ITEM>

Releases the active mana connection to the specified cambrinth item. The item must be identified rather than using CAMBRINTH as a general option.

• RELEASE SYMBIOSIS

Releases an active symbiosis or forgets a learned symbiosis, returning spell preparation to the default Chaos symbiosis.

• RELEASE SPECIAL

Releases effects from the Hollow Eve 2015 painted mask.

• RELEASE LIFE

While dying, relinquishes your hold on life and allows death to occur.

Notes

• The bare command and RELEASE ALL process several independent effects. Their output is a sequence of effect-specific messages rather than a single general success message.
• Named spells and cyclic spells use their own expiration messaging when successfully released.
• RELEASE <CAMBRINTH ITEM> acts only on the specified active link; it does not release held mana.
