Faster Casting (sometimes abbreviated FC) is an item property that reduces the amount time it takes to cast a spell. For every point in faster casting you have, the casting time is shortened by 0.25 or 1/4 of a second.
Cumulative Caps
The total Faster Casting your equipment provides is subject to the following maximums.
- 2 - For Magery, Mysticism and Necromancy spells
- 4 - For Bushido, Chivalry*, Ninjitsu, Spellweaving spells and Bard Masteries
- Chivalry is capped at 2 if you have 70 or more Magery or Mysticism skill.
Equipment
Faster Casting is normally a maximum of 1 and is only found on spellbooks, weapons, shields, rings, and bracelets.
Artifacts
This list includes artifacts with more than 1 faster casting and or equipment that normally wouldn't have it:
- Arcane Shield (shield with both FC1 and SC)
- Boomstick (wild staff with both FC1 and SC)
- Chaos Shield - Museum of Vesper Replica (shield with both FC1 and SC)
- Djinni's Ring (ring with FC2)
- Helm of Swiftness (helmet with FC1)
- Luck Jewelry Set (ring and bracelet set with FC3)
- Ornament of the Magician (bracelet with FC2)
- Staff of the Magi (black staff with both FC1 and SC)
- Staff of Pyros (black staff with both FC1 and SC)
- Swords of Prosperity (daisho with both FC1 and SC)
- Venom (bracelet with FC2)
In terms of game balance it seems reasonable to allow non spell-channeling, two-handed weapons to have FC2, since it would be the same as carrying one weapon and one shield, both with FC1 and without spell channeling, but no such item is known to exist.
City Loyalty
If you pledge your citizenship to a city with an appropriate trade deal, you can obtain a 1 faster casting bonus each day. This bonus lasts for 24 hours.
Imbuing
The property can be imbued on weapons, shields, rings, and bracelets. The intensity weighting is 1.4, the ingredients required are
