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.
