Okay, so the problem is that I need one spell to cast other spells in order to get paralyze and sleep effects and stuff to cast properly. But, the source in the cast function must be able to cast the spell, and therefore must have the spell. But these paralyze effects that are cast through scripts cost 0 mana, so if I give them to NPCs...well you get the idea.

So what I want to do is create an actor that I never place with all these spells named DungeonMaster and have him cast all the spells. Possible?

If you don't want to have to worry about the animation of the cast, you can forgo those requirements by using the spell directly.

Spellname.Cast(akTarget, akSource)

Also check out remotecast. They don't need to have the spell to be capable of casting the spell. I think they just have to meet the MGEF requirements (if that). The note on the wiki indicating the source must be able to cast the spell seems a little misleading or I've done a heck of a job working around the problem without even realizing it.

My game must be bugged then because when I use the Cast function, nobody has the spell and it still works properly. Not to mention it works perfectly fine even when I use something like a rock as the source.

RandomNoob, I agree with you. When casting the Spell I am not requirement bound. It just works. Just use SPELLNAME.CAST or SPELLNAME.REMOTECAST for your needs.
