Immediate Spell Casting and AoO's

[Aluvial]

Does casting an immediate action spell provoke Attacks of Opportunity?

(Related incident -- Does casting a verbal only spell provoke an AoO?)

Swift and Immediate action spells don't provoke AoOs. AoOs don't rely on components (like verbal, somatic etc.), but on actions used to cast the spell. So your V only spell would still provoke if it's a standard or full-round action to use.
Similarly, a component-less spell (Silent-metamagicked Suggestion cast by a Sorcerer with the Eschew Materials feat, for example) would still provoke an AoO if it takes more than a swift action to cast. This also goes for Spell-like Abilities.
