    Don't know if this has been mentioned here or not but I noticed that Thundara and Blizzara are both instant-cast spells, yet Fira has a 3 second cast time. I'm further confused by the fact that one of the combo bonuses for thundara is a reduced cast time but how can it be reduced further than instant-cast ? ...

    Something seems not right here so if dev could please respond if this is a mistake or intentional. If intentional I'd love to hear the design philosophy supporting this.

    I haven't played around with it enough to notice, but the spells that take 3 secs to cast, are they the AOE ones? You have to take a very close look at the descriptions, fire is an AOE, while stone is not. It's very mix-and-match when it comes to which are AOE and which ones are not.

    The reduction is not in the cast time of Thundara, but rather the RE-cast time (aka cooldown). If the stun goes off, the spell cannot be cast for the 30 seconds shown in the tooltip. If no stun happens, I believe it's something like a 15 second CD? Or something close to that anyway :P
