Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

If we want to go for realism ( big LOL here =p ) wouldn't it be more realistic for weaker spells to be cast while running, and more difficult/powerful spells would root the mage? Like say fire, aero, stone, thunder, blizzard and eventually water I guess would be like smaller spells that could be cast when moving. Then the second ones may root you but have lower casting times than the third installment. Also maybe Cure could be used when running, but cura would root you with a lower casting time than curaga. etc.

What could be a good idea is:
- any spell cast while moving is weaker by X%
- spells cast while standing still are at 100% effectiveness.

I'm glad to see some people actually post constructive suggestions.

Good idea.
Regarding PvP, sleep should be also a spell that roots the caster.

my favorite idea was always to just slow the mages down and not forcing them completely to stop.
either just the walking mode when casting or (if it's possible) adjust the movement speed depending on the spell,
like 75% mov.speed for cure, 50% for damage spells, 25% mov.speed for sleep etc.

it doesn't have to be black or white guys.
tell me everyone - what kind of compromise would you like?
