On a melee weapon only (and sacred), here is some possible ideas:

Arcane Spd
Arcane Art
Divine Healing
Divine Focus (+battle concentration)

This idea could make a good religion spell.

Or even a replacement for a certain lost cabal ability.

I know that we have enchantments that cause weapon speed to increase, but I was wondering if there was anything that caused casting/blessing/chanting (referred collectively as 'casting' from here out) time to speed up (or take less time, however you prefer to think of it). I may be mistaken, but it seems like even the very basic spells still take as much time for a *insert much higher rank level here* as they do for an amateur. That just seems a little ludicrous, particularly if that spell has since been mastered. Wouldn't the caster that's mastered said spell be able to drop it down with very little need to prepare whereas the amateur who just learned it would have to spend extra time to actually achieve the effect. I know the probability of actually pulling off the spell is taken into account when looking at the spell's level, but wouldn't the casting time decrease with increased rank levels and/or increased capacity with the spell/blessing etc as well? Maybe I've just not noticed it... but it does seem that the amount of time needed hasn't budged at all.


Low level combat oriented spells already tend to cast incredibly fast. This is also a thing that does not directly translate from oh say D&D where casting time is a standard action, one round, etc. It's based off of the processing power of a computer, and so if you got say a 10% increase to your casting speed, you probably would not even be able to detect it.
