Target command

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

You must first PREPARE a spell in order to target it, and the spell must be targetable. Some spells are prevented from targeting specific body parts.

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.

Syntax

• TARGET -- will default to the creature you are facing
• TARGET <player>
• TARGET <creature>
• 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.

Examples

TARGET: will target the creature you are currently facing.
TARGET GOBLIN: will target the first goblin in the room.
