Rules talk:Speedcast

An item of confusion: If the mandatory casting time is foregone when this technique is used, does that mean the mandatory time doesn't have to be spent at all, at any time, or that it has to be spent on preparation of the spell for speedcasting? --Ice 19:24, 11 March 2008 (PDT)

The mandatory casting time is still always required. However, when a mage has this technique, it's to be assumed that they've done the preparation for a spell at some previous point. So essentially, they get one 'freebie' per scene, with the prep done in the background, not unlike PT is. Hroefn ^T 20:33, 11 March 2008 (PDT)
