yeah I'm pretted sure they didn't cast after that but I might have accidently cut the spell off thinking it was done I'll have to try it again. What is the amulet of power and where do you find it? I've never come across it.

he Amulet of power is given to you by Aran Linvail ( choose the thieves-guild as your ally), the first time you meet and receive the quest to guard the docks.

Amulet of Power

Magic Resistance +5%
Vocalize
Decrease spell casting speed by 1 ( this is a good thing)
Immunity to lvl drain

Oh yeah...Forgot all about that amulet. I though that a decrease was a bad thing at the time.

How can this be a good thing?
Increasing makes things go faster, decreasing makes things go slower. So when it decreases casting-time by 1, it makes casting go slower. And that's NOT a good thing.

Nope!

Decreasing spell casting speed actually increases it. That's because spell casting is done kind of like weapons...it's measured in parts of a round. A spell that takes 1 to cast casts 1/10 of the way through the round, a spell that takes 10 to cast takes place at the end of the round. So the -1 on the Amulet of Power means that a spell that had a speed of 5 now has one of 4 (i.e. 1/10 of a round faster). When added to the RoV (which subtracts another 3), then you get a total of -4 (that is, a spell with a speed of 5- which normally took 3 seconds to cast- will now cast as fast a magic missile).

Robe of Vecna grants a -4 in casting time. With the Amulet of Power, that is a grand total of -5.

Ah well, guess it was a bit too late for me to reply to such thing yesterday, I guess I'm not to so much help when I'm so tired I could just fall asleep on the keyboard.
