Not necessarily.....spells with a casting time below 5 are cast instantly in this case. Those between 5-10 will effectively be cast with a casting time of 1-5 (or 0.6-3 seconds). All it takes is an archer with a SF of 0 to surprise an unprotected mage, and the protectile will disrput the spell casting (negating projectile speed).

Don't under-estimate the importance of weapon speed factor
