Spells are cast from memory (Mage Book or Priest Scroll), have their stated Casting Time, and can be disrupted if the caster takes damage or fails a Saving Throw while casting.

Scrolls and Wands use items placed in Quickslots. They have Casting Time (the Casting Time for all Wands is 0, but you still have to wait for the start of a new round to use them), but cannot be disrupted unless the caster is rendered helpless (Held, Unconscious, etc).

Abilities are accessed through the Special Abilities icon. They almost always have a casting time of 0, and therefore cannot be interrupted unless the caster is under some sort of Spell Failure (some abilities cannot be interrupted at all).
