Memorize lets the Professor pre-arrange a series of spells so the next several casts come out in half the time.
Overview
Memorize is a self-buff that primes the caster's next few spells. After a short channel, the Professor's following casts are rushed out at greatly reduced casting time. It is the Professor's signature setup skill for chaining a burst of fast spells, such as repeated bolts or area magic, with almost no wind-up.
Mechanics
Casting Memorize takes a fixed 2.5-second cast time that cannot be shortened by DEX or by other cast-reducing effects. Once active, it stores a count of memorized casts and persists with no time limit until those casts are spent.
Magnitude: the variable cast time of each affected spell is reduced by 50% (halved). The buff covers the next 5 casts.
Only skills the Professor has actually learned benefit from the reduction; spells granted by items are not affected. The memorized-cast counter is consumed on each qualifying cast and the buff ends once all five charges are used.
Catalysts and requirements
Requires 1 SP to activate.
Notes
Memorize halves only the variable portion of cast time; it does not remove fixed cast delays. It does not stack additively with other cast reducers — it simply halves whatever variable cast time remains. Plan the five charges carefully, since the counter ticks down even on spells that happen to have no variable cast time.
