[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2784887, member: 17296"] Yes, yes you can. Although there doesn't seem to be any rule for it, I can't see how it's impossible to do. How much time would it take though, there lies the question... And I think we have an answer! One standard action should do it, certainly. Heck, I'd allow it to be a move action. I'd also make it a purely-mental action. I'd be hesitant about making the time it takes go all the way down to "free" action... well, a free action IS on your turn only, and you only get one... Ok, a free action or greater. But I'd still say only one a turn, however you can use either: 1) Free Action 2) Move action 3) Standard Action. Definitely any time you want out of prep time. And just anytime at all outside of combat. However if you were in combat rounds I would make it take *some* measurable amount of concentraion, measured in time spent. There doesn't seem to be a RAW based answer, at least not on the time it would take. However RAW does seem to say you can abandon a spell, and if you needed a RAW way to do it then casting it and interrupting yourself, it seems indisputable that this would work. [/QUOTE]
