Interrupt

Description

Interrupts the target's active spell cast.

For players, this cancels the active cast-time spell and fires the ~onSpellCastInterrupt trigger. By default, only casts whose Casting.Interruptible is true are affected — set force=true to ignore that.
For Mythic mobs, this removes the #casting aura. This is the same cast aura that MythicMobs uses for mob spell casts, so this mechanic gives players a way to interrupt mob channels too.

If the target is not casting (and has no #casting aura), the mechanic returns CONDITION_FAILED.

Attribute	Aliases	Description	Default
reason	r	A short text reason recorded with the cancellation, exposed via the `cast-cancel-reason` variable in the trigger.	`interrupted`
force	f	If `true`, interrupts even if the cast is marked as not interruptible (`Casting.Interruptible: false`).	`false`
