A wand could use the mace skill, staff - staff, and maybe orbs could be thrown - maybe have enchantments banish a foe or turn it to stone (kinda D&amp;D; like).<br /> | Answered = 2000.11.13<br /> | Dev = Stormwaltz<br /> | Answer = Casting was done without foci back in early beta. Based on responses to that beta interface, the spellcasting UI was completely redesigned and wrapped into the combat UI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, in order for the client and server to know that you should go into casting mode when you smack the dove, you must have a specially flagged focus object wielded. If you wield a melee weapon, you'll be placed in combat mode. If you wield a bow or thrown wep, you're placed in ranged combat mode. If you wield a magic focus, you're placed in casting mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the UI improvements, casting without focus is no longer possible.<br /> }}<br /> }}</div>
