This spell empowers the
mage to specially prepare another spell for quick casting in
an emergency. Urgent utterance is cast first, followed by
the spell to be readied, except for the last word of the spell.
When the mage needs to cast the readied spell, the caster
need only utter the final word of the spell. The utterance of
the final word only takes one segment, saving much time
on most spells. The readied spell will stay in the caster’s
mind for only one day before it atrophies and fades out of
memory. No more than two readied spells can be in the
caster’s mind at any time. Almost any spell of level 6 or less
can be readied for quick casting, except the following: find
familiar, magic mirror, conjure elemental, contingency,
enchant an item, ensnarement, guards and wards, legend
lore, Tenser’s transformation, limited wish, simulacrum,
true name, binding, permanency, succor, and wish. 

MC: A sapphire worth 1,000 gold pieces,
which is crushed when the spell is cast.
