User:The Gates Assassin/Activation Time vs Casting Time

There is a difference between activation time and casting time in [Insert name of my game in here]. Casting time is how long it takes before the spell or attack even begins to start to take it's effect. So in short, it's the time where the skill can be interrupted. Activation time is how long it takes for the effect stated to happen after the casting time is done. Nearly all skills have an activation time of 0, however some stronger spells, especially monster skills, have activation times, some very long.
