- Description
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- This alters spells\' Speed and Cooldown values to be directly dependent on their base Mana cost (not the adjusted in-game cost).
- Cooldown Time is equal to Cost divided by 5 multiplied by rank: (C/5)R
- Cooldown Time for Modals is equal to Cost divided by 5, multiplied by rank divided by 2 and rounded up: (C/5)(R/2)
- Spells with Speed of 3 or higher require a held non-staff weapon to be sheathed.
- <=025: Speed 1 (Modal Speed 1)
- <=050: Speed 2 (Modal Speed 1)
- <=075: Speed 3 (Modal Speed 2)
- <=100: Speed 4 (Modal Speed 2)
- <=125: Speed 5 (Modal Speed 3)
- <=150: Speed 6 (Modal Speed 3)
- Exceptions to the above are the Shapeshifter and Keeper Specialties. Their Specialty-specific spells have Speeds of 1 regardless of cost.

- Rebalanced Version
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- Same as above, except the cost thresholds for speeds were increased:
- <=050: Speed 1
- <=100: Speed 2
- <=150: Speed 3
- <=200: Speed 4
- It also alters the base costs themselves using the below guidelines:
- Duration = 1 mana per second
- Damage Duration = 2 mana per second
- Freeze Duration = 5 mana per second
- Knockdown = 5 mana
- Multiple Targets = 10 mana
- 0.xx Damage = xx mana
- 0.xx Heal = (xx mana) / 2
- Sustainable = 25 per rank
- Some abilities were then re-arranged for better cost progression as seen below.
