:Each rank of Armored Casting returns 15% of of a failed spell's mana to the caster (rounded down) and gives a 33% chance to reduce [[cast roundtime]] by 1 second. At 3 ranks, cast roundtime is always 2 seconds for a failed spell; ranks 4 and 5 provide a chance to reduce it to 1 second. Armored Casting does not reduce the hard [[roundtime]] from {{boldmono|[[CHANNEL]]}}ing a spell, nor does it stack with [[Rapid Fire (515)]].
