How can you make a mage cast spells faster besides haste and such, i always notice Iranicus and mages of the like to cast spells one after another without the break in between.

another question, i just got this game and was wondering, does Iranicus join you party(i doubt it but i guess its worth asking

Welcome to the BG forums [img]smile.gif[/img]

answer to question number 1) there is no way to erase the gap between casting spells until you have a mage powerful enough to cast improved alcrity, a ToB spell.
2) No irenicus won't join you but

In the ToB mod ascenion, his vampiric "sister" Bodhi will if you have an evil party and your Bhaalspawn promises her his soul.

Nope Irencius can't join your party. You'll never be able to cast spells as fast as Irencius but there are some items that let you cast faster. These are:
Robe Of Venca- bought from deidre in the back of the adventutrers mart(only if you have TOB or the bonuse merchants installed)
Amulet of power-continue the story and you should be able to get this.

This is given to you by Aran Linvail the Shadowmaster of the shadow thieves so if you want it you'll have to side with them.

Just a little note that Haste does not improve your casting speed. You just wave your hands faster.

Not necesarily.
If you side with Bodhi, you get to fight Aran anyway, and get the items he`s carrying. This includes what he gives you if you side with him, and a bit more.

Wrong on both counts.

Sorcerers and Mages have the same base casting speed.

Jon Irenicus is not a Sorcerer, according to game code anyway. He is a Mage if I remember correctly.

He wears the Robe of Vecna and some funky ring that grants him permanent Improved Alacrity... ...
