An Ability or
Spell might require longer than the
Caster's current
Turn to cast. While
Casting, the creature can't use
Action Point(s). It requires the complete
Focus Psi of the
Caster to harness the
Ability or
Spell to completion. The
Caster can drop this status at any time using
End Casting.
Ritual Spells, cast a ritual, always require a default of
Casting of 10 minutes.
Any Mana, or material components that are required, even including those that need to be consumed for the
Spell or
Ability, are required only when the
Casting timer is complete.
Casting essentially is the preparation for the
Spell,
Ability, or
Ritual Spell.
