If magic is in the game, any character has the ability to cast spells.

They can cast any spell they know by reading from a book, or can memorise a number of spells equal to their '''HEAD Dice''' and can cast the memorised spells without a book. When a memorised spell is cast it is not forgotten.

Once a spell is cast the character must test their '''WIS/INT''' - adding the spell's level to the roll. If they fail, then they spend a number of HEAD Dice corresponding to the spell level. If they don't have that many unspent HEAD Dice, then they wound enough BODY Dice to make up the difference. Casting a spell can take you '''OofA'''.

If a character uses a spell that calls for its target to make a save, then in addition to telling whether HEAD Dice were spent, the character's test of their own '''INT''' or '''WIS''' also shows whether their magic was powerful enough to overcome the target's defences.
