[Maddy:]
:I think the best solution would be to stop the instant spell thing. Casting
:a summon portal spell shouldn't take a second. I want that MU to wave his
:arms about and sing the Happy woodcutters song until he's blue in the face
:before he gets a portal. By which stage you've stabbed him in the back and
:long since left.
I think I'd prefer a setup where the more experienced/powerful a magic
user is, the quicker they can cast a given spell. So, someone who has
only just gained the ability to cast a portal spell would take quite a
while to do the cast/summon/carry/portal, but a much more experienced
magic user might manage it before the fighter could react and do something.
