i'd also like to point out that casting a spell is different than OPENING stuff (ie backpack or spellbook), we can cast with macros cuz u don't need to open anything.

Still, you need to move to cast. Magery isn't a form of telekinesis, you grab the regs and make motions with your hands while speaking the words of power. Back in the day we had pouches to unparalyze us because flicking open a trapped pouch was something someone could do much more easily then cast a spell. I mean that in the sense that you could find a paralyzing spell enough to flick open a little pouch in comparison to grabbing regs and moving your arms.

Personally I always liked trapped pouches as it was slightly more realistic for such a scenario. After all... how paralyzed can you be if you can still cast normally. Of course way back then we also had pre-casting to counter para easier as well. We should just rename paralyze to something like, 'magic cement' since it only focuses on keeping someone from moving, not casting as it was intended back in the day.
