It would be a nice QoL improvement to be able to cast fire freely without wasting hearts to maintain AF.
At base Spellspeed you've 10.9 Sceconds to perform the first half of the Fire Phase. Astral Fire is 13s Yes you've time. If you're struggling consider changing what you're doing and how you move. Sharpcast can be used to let you Fire earlier and have a Firestarter, Triple and Swift can be used if you think you've to move too much.
