How to cast a object as TRttiType

I'm working with an ORM (Aurelius), and need to cast a object as TRttiType.

The TRttiType was obtained from TRtticontext.FindType.

ISptModel = interface(IInterface)
  ['{688431B1-2895-4FE2-AD18-8A7892289956}']
end;

TCidade = class(TInterfacedObject, ISptModel)
end;

var
  FObjectInstance: ISptModel;

LType := LContext.FindType('Spt.Cidade.Model.TCidade');

Manager.SaveOrUpdate(LType(FObjectInstance)); // I need something like this, but doesnt work
Manager.SaveOrUpdate(TCidade(FObjectInstance)); // This works

It has to be cast as TCidade so Aurelius can persist the object correctly.

You cannot use LType like you want to.

You probably just need to cast the interface as a TObject like so:

Manager.SaveOrUpdate(FObjectInstance as TObject);
