User:Grendal/Technique: Item Swap

What is it?
Item Swapping is a small trick that has very few uses. The basic idea is to cast a item spell while holding one. This causes you to instantly drop the one you're carrying and start carrying the one you cast. There are multiple uses for this technique. The first being to keep you always holding an item spell for things on your bar that care about it. IE Soothing Memories. Another use is for spells that you want to retain their hold effect for, but also want the drop effect. IE Protective Was Kaolia. The third is to pay for the item spell before you get the drop effect. IE Generous was Tsurgi. This technique is particularly important for this spell because its drop effect is a heal & it has a health sacrifice as a cost. The significance of this is that when you cast it again while holding it the sacrifice goes off first then the life gain from dropping. An order you cant achieve any other way. Using it this way turns the spell into an extremely powerful self heal and gets around the painful sacrifice cost..

How to do it?
Cast an item spell while still holding one.
