### E.21.10: Farcasting [2937]

      Usage:  USE 2937 <location>
      Time to learn: 28 days.
      Time to use: 7 days.

If successful, the location check for the next spell cast attempted will be made from the given location instead of the location the mage is in.

The amount of aura consumed is equal to the distance in provinces from the mage's location to the target location. For instance, to project a cast into an adjoining province requires two aura. To project a cast between any of the sublocations within a province requires one aura.

The projected cast state will persist until the mage's next use of magic. The mage may move before casting the next spell; movement will not alter the target location for spell projection.

Unless the mage is projecting to the same location he is in, a magical shroud over the target location will cause this spell to fail.

Not all spells may be farcasted. The following are the spells that may be farcasted:
