Hi Guys,
Can you cast spells from a wall, when in 'spider climb'? So you do'n actually move, but just hang alongside a window for instance. Can you get your hands free enough to allow casting?

The spell says you need to have your hands free to allow movement with SC, but it doens't say what happens when you actually 'busy' your hands with something (like casting). Can you still stick to the wall when you don't move?

Thanks!
