The TARGET command is used to direct the energies of a targeted spell before the spell is CAST.

Most targeted spells have no prep time and don't need to be PREPAREd at all. Some spells can't fine target specific body parts (like eyes).

Targeting a spell changes the message you will see when the spell is ready to cast. The spell is ready when you receive the message that the formation of the targeting pattern has completed.

Usage

With a Prepared Spell

  • TARGET: will default to the creature you are facing
  • TARGET <player>: must have a name to target PC to prevent accidentally attacking people
  • TARGET <ordinal> <creature>: Can target something you're not facing. Ordinal is optional.
  • TARGET <player/creature> <location>: target specific body areas on the indicated victim
  • TARGET <location>: target indicated body area on the target you are facing
  • TARGET [(area|all)|creatures|engaged]: when you are intending to attack [Everything and everyone | Only creatures | Only things that are engaged to you]

Valid locations include head, right/left eye, neck, right/left arm, right/left hand, chest, abdomen, back, right/left leg. Some creatures may have other names for these locations.

Without a Prepared Spell

  • TARGET <spell>: targets facing critter at min mana. If you're not facing anything, auto face the first critter in the room.
  • TARGET <spell> <mana> AT <area/creature/player>: mana and creature/player are both optional. Can't fine target with this option.

Examples

With a prepared spell

TARGET: targets the prepared spell at the creature you are currently facing.
TARGET GOBLIN: targets the prepared spell at the first goblin in the room.
TARGET RIGHT ARM: targets the prepared spell at the right arm of the victim you are facing.
TARGET GOBLIN RIGHT ARM: targets the prepared spell at the right arm of the first goblin in the room.

Without a prepared spell

TARGET FS: will prep the Fire Shard spell at min and begin targeting what you're facing.
TARGET FS 15 AT GOBLIN: will prep spell at 15 and begin targeting the first goblin in the room.
