Spell Durations

Durations are based upon your trainings in spells, magic items or scrolls.

There is always a base time. On top of this time, there is an additional amount of time. The base time remains the same no matter what. The additional time needs calculations.

Food and drinks do NOT get the additional time benefits.

Additional time for invoking scrolls is based upon your trainings in scroll usage. Additional time for using magic items is based upon your trainings in magic items. And lastly, addititional time for known spells is based upon your trainings in that particular spell list.

Calculating Additional Times for Magic Item Use and Scroll Invocations

If the spell is invoked off a rod or wand ( or ring or statue or other ), then your training in Magic Item Use training determines the additional amount of time. Divide the number of trainings in magic item use by 2, then multiply the result by the Added Time Quantifier ( ATQ ) as indicated in the tables below. For scrolls, use your Scroll Reading skill and perform the same calculations.

Calculating Addition Times for Known Spells

For spells known and cast, multiply your trainings in that particular spell list by the Additional Time Quantifier in the tables below.
