Runemage Consistancy

[Damage_Da_Mage]

Perhaps this comes down to a difference in expectations. Here is a link to one of the earliest examples of the kind of time expected to attain certain levels of runemage “skill mastery”

@Riley_D

Beginner: You know 5-6 basic spells, and you can cast them around 25-50% of the time.
Intermediate: You have 5-6 basic spells down pat to where you can get them to cast 75% of the time. You are beginning to learn another 10-15 spells for various situations but you aren’t as good with them.
Master: You see runes when you close your eyes. You have a cadre of 10 spells you can cast nearly flawlessly via muscle memory. The rest you know and can get 80% of the time.

I think it will take someone a minimum of 5-10 hours to get to Intermediate, and probably 100 hours to get to Master.
