Notes

  • If a specific spell is assigned by Object ID, an actor will attempt to cast the spell even if it is not in his/her spell list.
  • If a range of spell is assigned (eg Spells: Range Self), an actor will only attempt to cast a spell if such spells are in his/her spell list. Alias spells are not considered.
    • If the actor has no spells that qualify, he/she will draw his/her weapon and remain in an alert pose.
  • Unlike when using the Cast function, the actor will play the casting animations. However, magicka is still not depleted.
    • If the actor does not have enough magicka to cast the spell, he/she will remain in an alert pose with the spell equipped until he/she has enough magicka to finish casting the spell.
