===== Touch-Casting =====
To touch-cast, hold a Packet and place it against the target you wish to affect in a safe and appropriate manner. Touch-casting thus avoids the chance of missing your target but cannot be used “offensively” against your foes in the middle of a moving combat.

The recipient of a touch-cast spell may choose to “accept” the spell, thus letting it pass their Spell Defenses such as [[Spell Shield]] or [[Reflect Spell]]. Thrown spells cannot be “accepted” in this way.

The recipient must be conscious to accept a spell. An unconscious person’s Spell Defenses will always go off.

The decision to accept a spell through touch-casting is made immediately after the spell is cast. This is to prevent a caster from tricking an unsuspecting victim.

The recipient of a touch-cast spell can always refuse the spell by saying “refused.” This will use up the spell but have no effect whatsoever on the recipient.

Touch-casting can only be used for an incanted spell, a Magic Item, or for Skills with the “Spell,” “Elemental,” or “Arcane” qualifiers. It cannot be used with Alchemy or Trap Globes or a “Poison” qualifier effect.
