| Within PathRunner, all Spells are sorted into **Spell Tiers**, which dictate the power of the spell, and in turn the minimum amount of Mana required to cast it. To cast a spell, you must expend [[priority:magic#mana|Mana]] equal to the Tier of the spell. For example, casting a Tier 4 spell costs 4 MP. When casting a spell, a character typically expends the Mana required as a Standard Action which provokes Attacks of Opportunity. Unless otherwise stated, the saving throw DC against your Spells is equal to (10 + your Caster Level + your [[priority:magic:casting_traditions|Primary Casting Attribute]] modifier). Typically, you can only cast one Spell every turn. | Within PathRunner, all Spells are sorted into **Spell Tiers**, which dictate the power of the spell, and in turn the minimum amount of [[priority:magic#mana|Mana]] required to cast it.

| Cantrips do not cost any Experience to learn. Instead, any character who possesses a Caster Level of 1 or more may study magic for a period of four hours to learn any Cantrip. Succeeding at a [[priority:skills:spellcraft|Spellcraft]] check (DC 10) progressively lowers this time requirement, at GM discretion. | Cantrips do not cost any Experience to learn. Instead, any character who possesses a [[priority:magic#initiation_grade|Initiation Grade]] of 1 or more may study magic for a period of four hours to learn any Cantrip. Succeeding at a [[priority:skills:Research|Research]] check (DC 10) halves this time requirement. Reaching a DC of 20 halves once more, reducing the time investment to 1 hour of study. Note that you get some free Cantrips based upon your starting [[priority:magic#initiation_grade|IG]]. |
