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.

Faster Casting is normally a maximum of 1 and is only found on weapons, shields, rings, and bracelets.

Artifacts

Items with more than FC1 and items with FC1 that normally wouldn't have it:

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.

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.
