Under stock ROM this wouldn't happen, as the spell is fired off immediately and there's no threading.
I can assume you've changed your code from: c 'armor' spell execution spell lag to: c 'armor' spell lag spell execution So, basically when 'spell lag' is occurring another mob enters the room. Take the target character and record the pointer to something in the caster char_data info: ch->spell_target = victim; (add this as a CHAR_DATA *) Then when the spell executes, validaate ch->spell_target is legal (it could have been extracted) and then use it instead of whatever you are using now. If I understand the problem correctly, something in this fashion should resolve the problem.
