Twist Twist is a term that came out of EverQuest, and now applicable to all VR Gameworlds, where a player character casts in quick succession, a series of spells with very limited duration, repeating the casting over and over such that at any time, most are in effect, in a slowly twisting effect as different ones time out and are recast. This has the effect of keeping the majority of effects almost permanently on. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.
