Casting spells while sitting

[Merak]

Today, I noticed that spells cannot be casted while the wizard is sitting ...

Why this limitation?  As a wizard must concentrate to cast, and fails his spell when he moves or does something else, it should be possible to cast seated (except if casting requires to dance ) ).

I\'d guess sitting down it total resting...like no actions whatsoever...plus...the enki\'s have quite an awkward posistion to cast a spell when sitting down...

[Draklar]

Sitting is restraining freedom of moves and a mage might be used to certain set of them when casting spells.

I know at least lying is bad for concentration.

Maybe Lotus position would be more suitable, but possibly caricatured also.

Seating cross-legged or on knees should be valid position. Especially, for the moment, spells are casted without speech nor gestures (a nice addition would be extra parameters to cast command:
\"/cast Rock Armor speech of the invocation blah blah\"
this text being sent to server and displayed only 1/10 times to avoid saturating spam).

Enki\'s posture is stable enough to cast by concentration (and no gestures with hands).

I also don\'t think lying down would be an effective way to concentrate.

At last, about Enki sitting position, PS is a RP and RP does not limit in what is implemented. To be sitting signifies to be sitting in the mind of the player, whatever the implemented attitude. He can also accompany this action by a text (in a shortcut for example):

Shortcut 0
/sit
/me sits crossed-legs, bows his head, frowns and begins to mumble with a voice too low for an enki...

Then, the player type by hand the command he wants:
/say Another boowttle of wine, daaaarling !

There could be enhancing conditions for spells, not explained in description, that the wizard should discover by practical experience.

Samples:
 - Casting healing with some weeds in one hand.
 - Casting healing on oneself while seating.
 - Casting Rock Armor with some stones or peebles in one hand. Depending of the type of stone (granite, marble...), the protection would be different.
 - Casting a fire-way spell nearby a campfire or with a torch in the hand, a water-way spell nearby a lake, etc.
