However, I was also going to have ways that casting time could be decreased. The very rough draft I had/have includes things such as the following:▪︎Multiple Casters working together - if multiple people know the same spell, they can work together to cast a spell more quickly. (I also considered the idea that a large group might be able to cast a spell at a higher level).▪︎Special Focus or Spell Component - makes casting easier (faster)▪︎Casting while in a place with high mana or some other special magical property - casting is faster/easier▪︎Imbue/Sacrifice Life Force* - easier/faster casting*I'm not exactly sure what this involves yet. I had considered that you could voluntarily take on a level of fatigue to speed up casting. I had also considered having the caster spend a HD. I also considered that sacrificing someone else could take the place of your own HD. Maybe a life would be equal to a spell level up to the amount of HD sacrificed, so you could either make one high-HD sacrifice or sacrifice many low-HD npcs.I never got around to running that campaign, but those were ideas that I had for making magic function differently.</blockquote>
