Hi

As i start CF the real confusing thing was the cast cmd.
In all other games and RPGs a cast means to invoke and fire the spell.
In CF it means to ready it.

Thats much confusing and all times a big problem for newbies.

Thats not enough, we have also the prepare cmd which does the exactly same
then the cast command.

I prefer to make a major change to it: Cast should be cast, means it will
fire a spell
in <dir>. So it will be the invoke cmd, invoke will be dropped. Also drop
prepare.

Use ready_spell instead.

Now we have with the new range system:

weapon (apply item (bow or something) to ready it)
throw  (tag item with ready_throw (this will be a hidden cmd when using real
tags) to ready it)
skill (ready_skill...)
spell (ready_spell ...)

Now the names will be make much more sense!
