Roll for Spell Casting*
*Casting a spell before rolling for damage only really pertains to situations like like casting Red Sign of Shudde Mell before the horror check to negate Nightmarish.
**If you had cast a spell like Red Sign of Shudde Mell to lower a monsters toughness, then switch to a two handed weapon, the spells abilities are no longer in effect.
