Faster Casting is an item property that reduces the amount time it takes to cast a spell. The attribute is capped. Mages and Necromancers have a maximum Faster Casting of 2. Characters that use Chivalry, Ninjitsu, Bushido or Spellweaving can have a maximum Faster Casting of 4. However, if a character possesses Magery or Mysticism at 70.0 skill or greater then Faster Casting is capped at 2 for Chivalry. Faster Casting makes you able to cast spells faster than normal.

For every point in Faster Casting you have, the casting time is shortened by 0.25 seconds. The casting delay is determined by the spell circle number and is given by 0.25 + spell_circle*0.25 seconds.

Occurence

The property occurs only on Weapons, Shields, Rings, and Bracelets. The maximum intensity is 1. Artifacts which are notable exceptions to these rules are:

Djinni's Ring (ring with FC2)
Helm of Swiftness (helmet with FC1)
Ornament of the Magician (bracelet with FC2)
Venom (bracelet with FC2)

In terms of balance it seems reasonable to me to allow non spell-channeling, two-handed weapons to have FC2, since it would be the same as carrying one weapon and one shield with FC1 (non-spell channeling), but I know of no such item.

Imbuing

The property can be imbued on weapons, shields, rings, and bracelets. The intensity weighting is 1.4, the ingredients required are

Notes

Both in-game and on the forums, Faster Casting is usually abbreviated to FC.
