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)
Hephaestus (shield with both FC1 and SC)
Luck Jewelry Set (ring and bracelet set with FC3)
Mantle Of The Archlich (robe with FC1)
Ornament of the Magician (bracelet with FC2)
Scabbard of Juo’nar (belt with FC1)
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)
The Scholar’s Halo (bandana with FC1)
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.
