Casting

Casting is using a spell, and every spell has:

• The MP and SP it costs.
• A cast time before it goes off, and a cooldown before it can be used again.
• Damage, or a heal range: Tiny Selfheal restores 3–5, Basic Selfheal 10–18.
• How long it lasts, for anything that keeps working.
• An element, for those that carry one.
• A level you must reach.
• An area, for spells that hit more than one square.

Cooldowns and effects

Skills can share a cooldown group: using one puts every skill in the group on cooldown. A skill with a cast time has to be cast standing still, and starting another skill interrupts it. Buffs and debuffs show as white icons in the lower right of the screen^[1].

Learning spells

Spells are taught by skill masters, each from its own list. A skill from a one-time quest can be learned again from the skill books, which list every general skill whose quest you have completed^[2]. Each class has a hub with its masters in it, and a master’s page lists what it is known to teach.
