Even though this spell shows as ''increasing casting speed by X%'', the actual effect is closer to ''reducing the casting time by X%''. This results in a great spell that cuts all powers' casting times in half on level 5.

Notes

Arcane Devotion is an essential power for warlocks and conjurers to reduce their spell casting times, with the class being all-but-unplayable without it.

As of 1.6.3, the spell functions as it's description suggests, increasing the casting speed. Thus given a casting time of <math>t_0</math>, the casting time <math>t = \frac{t_0}{1 + cast speed}</math>.

For example, if a Conjurer casts Energy Barrier, which had a cast time of 2 seconds, with level 5 Arcane Devotion the cast time is effectively 1 second.

A battle between two mages can be decided by the level of this buff, especially between warlocks. It must be recasted every minute, which puts mages in a disadvantage in long battles.
