{{boldmono|CHANNEL}} is an alternate method of casting various prepared spells, generally enhancing the potency of attack spells at the cost of "hard" [[roundtime]] that prevents the caster from moving or changing stance.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
*{{boldmono|[[PREPARE]] {spell} {{!}} CHANNEL {target} }}<br />
*{{boldmono|[[INCANT]] SET CHANNEL {spell} }}to always channel a spell using a simple {{boldmono|INCANT {spell #}}}<br />
*{{boldmono|INCANT {spell} CHANNEL}} to channel a spell using {{mono|INCANT}}, overriding any setting<br />
<br />
== Bolt ==<br />
{{bolt-channel}}<br />
<br />
''For how unchanneled bolts are assigned location, see [[Unaimed Body Location Assignment (saved post)]].''<br />
<br />
== Warding ==<br />
<br />
Most channel-enabled warding spells behave similarly.<br />
<br />
*[[Smite/Bane (302)]]<br />
*[[Fervent Reproach (312)]]<br />
*[[Divine Fury (317)]]<br />
*[[Chromatic Circle (502)]]<br />
*[[Immolation (519)]]<br />
*[[Mana Disruption (702)]]<br />
*[[Bone Shatter (1106)]]<br />
*[[Wither (1115)]]<br />
<br />
For these spells:<br />
<br />
*Channeling incurs 3 seconds of hard [[roundtime]], which runs concurrent with the 3 second [[cast roundtime]]. The hard roundtime portion can be modified by haste/slow effects.<br />
*Channeling gives a benefit if at least one hand is open, but extra benefit is garnered by having both open.<br />
*Channeling garners additional benefit when used from an aggressive [[stance]]. The more aggressive the stance, the bigger the benefit.<br />
<br />
{{channel-damage}}<br />
<br />
== Special Cases ==<br />
<br />
*[[Disintegrate (705)]] - Only factors in stance, not open-handedness.<br />
<br />
== Other Uses ==<br />
<br />
Certain non-attack spells also have a Channel option, which usually exists to differentiate between varying modes of the spell.<br />
<br />
*[[Charge Item (517)]] - Channel will instantly green the item, and give a chance to instantly add up to 5 charges. <br />
*[[Ensorcell (735)]] - Channel to permanently ensorcell an item.<br />
*[[Enchant (925)]] - Channel to complete a cycle of the enchanting process.<br />
*[[Holy Weapon (1625)]] - Channel to break the weapon bond.<br />
