Dominions 6: Interrupts
Prep Time in Spellcasting: Whatโs the Deal?
When it comes to spellcasting in Dominions 6, itโs all about the prep. Every spell needs a bit of warm-up time, roughly half of the total casting time. It’s like stretching before a run โ necessary to avoid a magical faceplant. Most spells will wrap up in about a combat round, but for those fancier spells โ the ones with battle enchantments or costing magic gems โ youโll need to wait a bit longer…
