Aftercast delay

Aftercast delay is the ¾ second time after activating certain skills, during which a character cannot move or use most other skills.

Mechanics
The delay is triggered immediately after activating a skill, e.g. an Elementalist casting a 2 second spell will have to stay put for 2.75 seconds (2s for the spell itself and 0.75s due to the aftercast). There is no delay if the skill is canceled or otherwise fails to activate (e.g. due to an interrupt).

However, the delay does not prevent the use of skills with zero activation time, most notably stances, shouts, and most [[attack skill]s.
