===Attacks of Opportunity===
Generally, casting a spell while threatened by an enemy in combat does not provoke an attack of opportunity (unless the creature threatening you has some special ability which breaks this rule).  However, casting a spell while threatened by an enemy does require a [[Concentration]] check, or else the spell is lost, as though it were cast to no effect.
Generally, casting a spell while threatened by an enemy in combat provokes an attack of opportunity.  In order to avoid this, the caster may attempt a [[Concentration]] check to cast defensively.  By doing so, regardless of whether the Concentration check succeeds or fails, the caster can no longer be subjected to an attack of opportunity for casting the spell (unless the threatening creature has some ability which allows them to break this rule).  Instead, if the Concentration check fails, the spell is lost as though it were cast to no effect, and the action used to cast it is wasted.
