| | | Suggested casting time values: |
| | | 5: Combat spells (cones, bolts, balls, etc - ones you cast when in |
| | | danger) |
| | | 10-15: Protection spells, other often cast spells. Summoning spells |
| | | would fall into this category, as they are often cast when not |

| | | These are only suggestions - they more or less match when the spell will |
| | | be used and usefulness. An attack spell that takes forever to cast |
| | | isn't very useful. There are really two things to keep in mind - when |
| | | the spell is cast, and how long the spell itself last. A long lasting |
| | | spell can have a longer casting time, simply because it isn't cast |
| | | that often and will last for a while (thus, smart players won't cast |
| | | it in combat). |
