General

Wrestling determines whether you get disturbed by melee (not by magic) when casting spells. With 0 wrestling, if you try to cast a high level spell, you'll get disturbed 90% of the time or more. At 50 wrestling, you'll get disturbed about 75% of the time. At GM wrestling, you'll get disturbed 50% of the time. It's not a 100% way to be safe from melee fighters, but it helps a lot if you're a mage.

Regardless of the fact that the protection spell makes it so you don't get interrupted, wrestling is still needed for when the protection spell's duration runs out, because you must wait awhile before casting protection again.

With the advent of Publish 16 (Summer, 2002), Wrestling is no longer needed to help you avoid being disrupted when casting spells. Anatomy + Evaluate Intelligence takes the place of Wrestling and, in fact, with both are at 100, they are better than 100 Wrestling (both at 100 will equal 110 "evasion").

Special Attacks
