If you have a tm spell fully prepped, and fully targetted but the original targt is not available, due to the critter or person in question being dead, hidden or running off, and you cast on another target, is this better or worse than snap casting after a few sec with a target in mind? Is their disparity between guilds or skillsets regarding this feature? Are there any plans to alter this? Would it be more effective to simply release the spell and prep over?

If you cast a spell at a creature you weren't targeting, it is treated as a snap cast. This is handled the same for all guilds.

I can't answer WHY it happens, but at least when you're able to just retarget something you have the benefit of having a fully prepped spell ready.

It's a very longstanding oversight or something where once you start targeting a spell it completely forgets about how long you've been prepping and assumes you're fully prepped.
The time to fully cast a TM spell is supposed to be prep time + target time. The system as now, coupled with the (also being fixed) limitation that a multishot spells has a flat accuracy, creates bizarre problems like Chain Lightning being instantaneous.

Full prep at the instant you target was an intentional design decision in the days when there were multiple lethal non-targeted spells. It will be changing in the rewrite, supposedly.
