Section 3 - New Actions

Zapping is an action applying to two things. Understand "[magic-spell] [something]" as zapping.

Carry out zapping:
    try casting the noun at the second noun instead.

Casting is an action applying to one thing. Understand "[magic-spell]" and "cast [something]" as casting.

Check casting:
    let found-it be a truth state;
    let found-it be false;
    let its-learned be a truth state;
    let its-learned be false;
    repeat with N running from 1 to the number of rows in the Table of Spells:
        if the spell in row N of the Table of Spells is the noun:
            now found-it is true;
            if the noun is learned:
                now its-learned is true;
    if found-it is true:
        if its-learned is false:
            say "[unlearned-spell]";
            stop the action;
        otherwise:
            continue the action;
    otherwise:
        say "[not-a-spell]";
        stop the action.
        
Carry out casting:
    repeat with N running from 1 to the number of rows in the Table of Spells:
        if the spell in row N of the Table of Spells is the noun:
            say "[output in row N of the Table of Spells][line break]".
