So hybrids couldn't cast in between swings in classic and kunark? That's brutal

I just turned off attack, cast spell, then turned attack back on. That bypassed the entire mechanic. Anyone could do that.

Also, implementation was a little wonky and casting really fast spells between swings wouldn't necessarily delay the melee if the spell finished before the next melee swing took place. Probably a case of lazy implementation moreso than intent (I suspect it only checked for in-progress cast at the start of a melee round) but that was the case with a lot of things in the game.
