THE MAGE GUILD : Spell : Greater Contingency
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Greater Contingency is one of the more complex spells available to you.
It allows you to set up a magical energy 'force' that surrounds you and
monitors you. You can set up the greater contingency to react in a split
second to the ending of a spell.
If it fails or runs out, your greater contingency will be activated.
Note: Greater Contingency can cast as many spells per round as you
have contingencies! However, the casting cost increases for each
spell cast in this manner.
Every time a greater contingency is activated and performs an action,
it has a chance of failing, when this happens you will have to re-cast your
greater contingency.
The format of the greater contingency spell is tricky, and it is important
that it is done correctly.
Note: Contingencies for 'quit' and 'hmsever' will not function
