[TF] recasting

[jobs at sans.c. (jobs)]

K, once again decided to go a diff route and this time had success I was looking for (i think)

/def -p100 -ag -mregexp -E{spellsystem} -t'You lost your concentration while trying to cast \
   (acidproof|\
    infravision|\
    sense anger).' spellup_casting_fail=\
   /echo -aBCmagenta %P1%;\
   /test store_spell("c '%P1'")

/def -p1 -ag -mregexp -t'You lost your concentration while trying to cast (.*).' 
nonspellup_casting_fail = /echo -aBCyellow %P1


cast acidproof
cast infravision
cast 'sense anger'
cast scry


acidproof	<---failed & in magenta & stored for recasting
infravision	<---failed & in magenta & stored for recasting
sense anger	<---failed & in magenta & stored for recasting
scry		<---failed & in yellow & NOT stored for recasting

Looks good to me. I think, as usual, i was just over complicating the obviously easy :-(
