Spells that are casted with cast bars (Miasma, Bio II) take effect instantly because the player cannot take action during the 2.5s cast time. Bio and Aero take effect towards the end of the animation, because the spell fires off instantly, can be used while moving, cannot be interrupted, so it takes effect ~1.5 seconds after it's used to make up for not having that 2.5s cast time penalty that spells like Miasma/Bio II have.

It's balance:
Spells w/ cast delay (cast time bars)= Take effect instantly upon finish casting
Spells w/ no cast delay (cast time bars)= Effect delayed for during animation to make up for no cast time
