[attr="class","paracontentfull"]Rank D Magecraft

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]You can now delay a spellcast after charging it up and let the spell linger on your hand for up to two posts. While the delay is maintained, the spell can be fired off instantly, without any further effort. Useful for spells with long incantations that you want to set up for an instant use later on. A spell can only be held for up to two posts after the incantation is completed, and only one spell can be delayed at a time.

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]Rank C Magecraft

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]You cast a spell and hold a portion of it back. The initial cast is half of the usual size, and the second cast can be fired off instantly at the same half size. Optionally this halved spell can be combined with the Delayed Cast technique.

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]Rank A in Magecraft and Rank B in Mana Capacity.

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]You are able to spend additional mana equal to increase the effectiveness of a spell by up to two spell ranks. The cost to use this technique is the difference between the normal casting cost of that spell and the normal casting cost of a spell at the new rank. Overcharged spells are treated as that many ranks higher for purposes of a clash against other spells, techniques, or stats, but gain no other benefit.

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]Rank E in Magecraft

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]With this technique you take a spell that moves forward as a projectile and alter the course at which it flies. During the post you activate this technique you can redirect that spell. This uses slow arcs and curves, not instant turns or changes in momentum.

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]Eight ranks spent between Magecraft and Analysis (such as Rank A in one and C in another or B in both).

[attr="class","paracontentfull"]You are able pretty much instantly recognize any spell that does not have a Magic Crest requirement. For those spells you know all the strengths and weaknesses of that spell. Against spells that have a magic crest requirement, you can only recognize them if the Magic Crest is extremely prominent, such as The Holy Church's Sacraments.
