+    You can place another spell upon your person so that it comes into effect
+    under some condition you dictate when casting contingency. The contingency
+    spell and the companion spell are cast at the same time. The 10-minute
+    casting time is the minimum total for both castings; if the companion spell
+    has a casting time longer than 10 minutes, use that instead.

+    Contingency placeholder.
+
+    Um, not sure...
+
+    Ok, some ideas:
+
+    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    SCRAPPED FOR NOW
+    1. To get any spell to be cast correctly, at the right level, we can
+       use a placeholder "spell", or ability, called something like "Contingency
+       Release" (which as a nice side effect, can be made to say "Contingency
+       Released" not "Contingency Casts Contingency Release").
+    2. This has a 40M range, can target anything (just in case), and has a special
+       script to fire.
+    3. The contingency (using, for example, a 6 second heartbeat) will check the
+       conditions of the spell all the time, and will move to the caster if the
+       conditions are not met, else, it will cast the "Continceny Release"
+    4.
+    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+
+    Different idea (from my AI):
+
+    1. Create the contingency monster. Has High AI, follows the caster (with
+       plot status, invsible, ETC).
+    2. This monster will have all wizard spells. It will have them dispite its
+       level (the lowest level for contingency) and will level up in sorceror
+       to be the same level as the PC.
+    3. Adds the feats (Save DC bonuses, Spell Penetrations) to its own hide.
+    4. Using fast-casting, it will cast the spells, when required, at the
+       correct targets. As it should always be on the PC's location, this will
+       mean it will always be in range ETC.
+    5. Then destroys itself.
+
+    Quite elegant, really, and full-proof (given how ResistSpell works, and
+    so on). Of course, we could have oCaster made as the actual caster of this,
+    but thats quite complciated, and no need!
