ITL pg 102-103. There are "Cast Spell" options for disengaged and engaged figures, but there is no "Cast Spell" option for figures in HTH.

Melee/Wizard compared to ITL has a few differences. This is one of them. That is in the new Legacy ITL there is no casting of spells while in HTH.

Just in case you want further evidence: in the old Advanced Melee and in the old GM Screen it lists casting spells in HTH at -6 DX. And in Adv Melee there is an option for casting spell in the HTH options list. In the new ITL and GM screen there is no mention of casting while in HTH. So, it was intentionally removed from the options list and intentionally not added to the new screen.

I hope this helps. Of course you may elect to have a house rule.
