   There are some hooks in place that allows scripting while tossing, so you could   
   do exactly this (and a lot more).  I did this while chatting with NetSurge a   
   couple years ago, but it remains unused.  Unless I had a power use-case like he   
   had at the time I don't think I would work on it much more though, since its   
   unlikely to ever be used outside of his wild (by cool) ideas! :)

   No, Mystic stores in the JAM .jlr files.
