# --description--
Given a string of spell codes you are casting, calculate the total score.
Each character in the string represents a spell:
| Code | Spell| Category | Base Score |
| - | - | - | - |
| `"f"` | Fire | Destruction | 3 |
| `"l"` | Lightning | Destruction | 3 |
| `"i"` | Ice | Control | 2 |
| `"w"` | Wind | Control | 2 |
| `"h"` | Heal | Restoration | 1 |
| `"s"` | Shield | Restoration | 1 |
A combo multiplier is applied based on how many spells in a row have been cast from different categories:
- The first spell always scores at base value.
- Each consecutive spell from a different category than the previous increases the multiplier by 1.
- Casting a spell from the same category as the previous resets the multiplier back to 1.
- The score for each spell is its base score multiplied by the current multiplier.
Return the total score from the sequence of spells.
# --hints--
`cast("fihwl")` should return `33`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(cast("fihwl"), 33)`)
}})
```
`cast("lwswfi")` should return `45`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(cast("lwswfi"), 45)`)
}})
```
`cast("wislhfl")` should return `37`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(cast("wislhfl"), 37)`)
}})
```
`cast("sihwlih")` should return `50`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(cast("sihwlih"), 50)`)
}})
```
`cast("wishlfihwslwifihl")` should return `101`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(cast("wishlfihwslwifihl"), 101)`)
}})
```
