Description

Adjusts a person's armor so that they can better recover from a failed spell casting attempt.

Mechanics

Reduces the amount of mana lost when failing to cast a spell due to armor hindrance by 15% per rank (all fractions dropped) and has chance to reduce the roundtime of the failure.

Additional Information

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 CHANNELing a spell, nor does it stack with Rapid Fire (515).
