How do I cast a spell or target an attack?
Select an action in your token menu, then choose a valid target or point on the map. The app checks range and applies supported mechanics according to the campaign’s automation mode.
Step by step
- Open your token’s Actions or Spells section and choose the action.
- Read the range, target requirements and any cast options shown.
- For a targeted use, click an eligible creature or point within range.
- For an area effect, use the preview to check where the area will land before confirming the cast.
- Review the result and remaining spell slots. Cantrips do not use spell slots.
Selecting versus simply rolling
Selecting an action arms it for map targeting. The double-click roll shortcut can show a roll without using the normal map-target selection. Do not treat a displayed roll as proof that every target’s sheet has been changed; check the result and the campaign’s automation setting.
Range and available slots
A valid automatic cast spends the required slot as part of the supported cast flow. Some spells offer further choices, such as a cast level or target list. Warlock pact slots and ordinary spell slots are not interchangeable in every case.
An out-of-range click cancels the armed action and clears its aim locally. Merely hovering or panning outside range does not cancel it. Select the action again when ready to try a different target.
When a result needs the GM
Unsupported, conditional or story-dependent effects can require a GM resolution. A spell description being present does not mean every part is automated. Chat only mode intentionally posts roll information without automatically spending resources or changing targets.
