-====== Cast a Spell ======
-**Time Required**:  Varies\\
-**Skill**:  Varies
-You weave magic into a desired result.  The skill used for this action varies according to the source of your magics:
-  * Bards use [[unbound:skills:performance|Performance]];
-  * Druids use [[unbound:skills:nature|Nature]];
-  * Mages use [[unbound:skills:arcana|Arcana]];
-  * Sorcerers use no skill, but roll [[unbound:characters:foresight|Foresight]] plus their level, and are considered trained when they do so;
-  * Templars use [[unbound:skills:religion|Religion]], but they use their [[unbound:characters:charisma|Charisma]] as its controlling attribute when Casting a Spell.
-Spells come in a variety of types.  For spells that do not target a foe, the TN to Cast the Spell is 11 plus the spell's Power.
-  * **Success**:  The spell is cast.
-  * **Failure**:  The spell is not cast, but the caster need not pay any Æther.
-Spells which target a foe's defences are made against that defence.  Each such spell will have its own **hit** and **miss** effects, but in general, the caster will always expend Æther when casting such a spell.
-Finally, there are spells which force a saving throw to avoid their effects.  Again, each such spell will  list its own **success** and **failure** effects, and typically, the spellcaster will expend the Æther for such spells regardless of outcome.
-===== Equipment =====
-If the spellcaster does not have a [[unbound:equipment:kits:Spellcaster's Kit]], they will suffer slight to any roll associated with Casting a Spell.  The exception to this is the Sorcerer, whose internal magics do not require a focus, nor any other part of a Spellcaster's Kit.

-Aria has been badly wounded by a goblin strike, and Sir Roland strides forward to assist her.  He casts //Minor Healing//, which is a Power 1 spell and therefore has a TN of 12 to cast.  Roland is a Templar (via [[unbound:features:general:Hybrid Training]]), and his Religion is +2---but it is +4 when Casting a Spell, because his Charisma is +3.  He rolls a total of 15, and successfully Casts the Spell.
