====== Efficient Spellcasting ======

**Requires**:  [[Studied Magic]]

Your meticulous study allows you to catch mistakes before they fester into disaster.
The additional time that you spend when [[legacy:rules:actions:cast_a_spell|Casting a Spell]] allows you to perform the spell in a safer, more efficient manner.

When you cast a Power 1 spell, reduce the total mana cost of that spell by one.

When you Cast a Spell and roll a **failure**, you may abort the spell. Doing so costs no mana, does not count as a **failure**, and no **failure** effects occur. The spell is simply not cast, and only the time spent attempting it is consumed.

**Normal**:  A spell cast with a **failure** still costs full mana, but always receives its **failure** effect.
