Sometimes referred to as "soft RT," '''cast roundtime''' is incurred after casting a spell or using a [[magic item]] (such as a small statue). During this time, the character cannot perform any intricate combat-related actions: they cannot attack, cast a spell, or use any magic items or [[Society|societal abilities]]. Unlike normal [[roundtime]], it is possible to perform most physical action such moving, standing up, and stowing or retrieving items. While in cast roundtime, the caster can change [[stance]], but they cannot go into a fully defensive stance, only a guarded one. |

Cast roundtime is usually three (3) seconds, as it used to always be three seconds for all spells. Combat setup spells now incur two (2) seconds of cast roundtime. A few abilities, notably [[Rapid Fire (515)]] and [[Armored Casting]], can reduce cast roundtime as low as one (1) second. Casting [[Rapid Fire]] or [[Spirit Slayer]] incurs no cast roundtime. |

Casting time is usually only three (3) seconds. |
