Clerics and Magic-Users are the only classes that can cast spells. Spells have three phases. First they are memorized (a character can only memorize a certain number of spells to bring along on an adventure – see the description of the character classes to find out how many, and what level). Second, they are prepared, which is the process of saying the magic words and making the magic gestures. Third, the spell is cast, which means it takes effect and the magic happens. In the normal sequence of combat, the caster starts preparing at the beginning of the round and casts the spell whenever his/her side has the initiative. In the alternative combat sequence, it takes a whole round to prepare a spell, but spells are cast at the beginning of the next round, and the caster can then take other actions during the round, including preparing a spell for the next round.
