Magic Casting reflects a character’s skill in shaping and channeling magical energy to produce desired effects. It includes knowledge of spells, control of arcane forces, and the ability to maintain focus under strain. Characters use Magic Casting to unleash spells, resist magical backlash, or manipulate supernatural forces. It's vital for mages, mystics, and any wielder of arcane or divine power.
Reverse the penalty for repeated spell use - accept an initial penalty to build casting momentum and fire off follow-up spells with increased precision and efficiency.
When your attack spell is countered or dispelled or you have to hold it back for one reason or the other, you immediately unleash the same spell in retaliation - turning failure into opportunity.
Hold your spell until a specific trigger occurs - then release it with precision, gaining a significant bonus to hit (if the trigger occurs).
Create the illusion of casting a spell, deceiving your enemies into reacting to magic that doesn't exist.
Accelerate your magical tempo to unleash multiple attack spells in a single round with reduced penalties.
Expertly manage and optimize the consumption of magical or technological energy, reducing Action Point (AP) loss from spell or module fumbles.
Cast a spell without letting your surroundings know what you are doing. This skill allows spellcasters to use magic unnoticed, whether in the presence of enemies, skeptical authorities, or situations where open spellcasting would be dangerous.
Bend and refine your spells so they track, pursue, or home in on a moving or obscured target—even around partial cover or concealment.
Reshape spells and area spells to avoid harming your allies, allowing for surgical precision when casting in crowded or chaotic combat situations.
Use attack spells as immediate responses when enemies expose themselves during specific actions that makes them an easy target - such as moving into your field of vision, stepping out of cover to attack, run straight at you- by seizing the moment to strike with precise magical force.
Channel your own life force into spellcasting by sacrificing health to gain Action Points (AP), enabling critical magic in desperate situations.
Mislead opponents about your spell's nature or target, making it harder for them to react, counter, or defend effectively.
Cast spells with deadly accuracy from a distance, making them almost impossible to dodge or counter once they hit their mark.
