Quick note @ 2AM:
It is possible to pre-program the spell using the waving hands technique
in such a way that it may become automatic later.
Say, I just program a sequence of gestures. And there's a try/catch pair
for each one, for example (look up the original definition) if the
sequence handler sees the opponent preparing to cast a fireball, it will
try to cast the fire protection and so on. The trick is, no catch by
default, so either you will have to program every catch just by thinking
it over, or by trial and error ;-)
