[QUOTE="Eolin, post: 3421006, member: 13266"] Note: The following is wonky. off the top of my head: To do this, would you want a wizard of any level to be able to cast any spell? Perhaps have 9 (10?) types of casting times: 1. Free Action. 2. Swift Action 3. Standard Action. 4. Full-round Action 5. 3-Round Action 6. One Minute 7. 10 Minutes 8. One Hour 9. One Day 10. One Week 11. One Month. 12. One Year. Wherein to find the casting time you take the standard casting time rank of the spell and increase/decrease it by the number of spell levels higher it is than the rank you want to cast it as.... For a first-level spellcaster to cast wish (standard-action casting time, onrmally), would be a rank 10 casting time (Standard: 2 + 8 levels higher than can normally be cast). This means a full month of full attention, without breaking for eating, sleeping, etc. For the same first-level spellcaster to cast fireball (standard action, 2 spell levels higher), would take 3 rounds. Conversly, for a 6th level spellcaster to cast magic missle as a 3rd level spell (2 higher, so we decrease it by two..) would be a free action. A bit better than the metamagic feat that does the same... As I said, off the top of my head... probably crazy. :-) [/QUOTE]
