I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for "linking spells". I guess I am thinking of linking buff spells to get ready for combat quickly. Or to cast an offensive spell and defensive one at the same time. For instance, casting Shield and Grease as a linked casting. Thus the wizard can help the party and be protected from retribution!
I see Contingency is available, but a sixth level spell is pretty hefty for the example above. It would also make the link REQUIRED, which I also don't like.
Could make a lower level version of contingency?
