If there's a period at the end of the line, e.g.

   You fumble over the correct inflection to cast sense life.

then that pattern will match it too, and produce a command:

   cast sense life.

which I would imagine might be rejected. You need to match the period  
at the end as *not* part of the text captured as arg[1], and while  
you're at it it would be a good idea to anchor the pattern to the  
beginning of the line:

   ^You fumble over the correct inflection to cast (.*)\.$
