*Speed at which spells can be cast.

### Influence of Attributes on Casting Speed

---

- Casting speed is influenced by Attunement, Faith and Intelligence
- Attunement has two times bigger influence on Casting Speed than Faith and Intelligence
- Casting Speed rises by 2 until it is 115. Casting speed will increase for every 2 points in Attunement, or 4 points in Faith or Intelligence. 
    - E.g. 2ATN = 1ATN+2FTH = 1ATN+2INT = 1ATN+1FTH+1INT = 2INT+2FTH = 1FTH+3INT = 3FTH+1INT
- Between 115 and 126 Casting Speed rises by 1 for same amount as above.
- From 126 it needs two times more than above to rise by 1. e.g. 4ATN = 8INT = 8FTH = 4INT +4FTH
- Max Casting Speed is 323 with 99 ATN/INT/FTH, Clear Bluestone Ring +2 , Black Hood and the Lion Mage set
