| - Casting Speed is the length of time taken to cast a magical spell. The time can be reduced by some types of weapons, armor, and by items such as scrolls.
- Casting speed is the time it takes for a spell to take effect. Some spells are "instant" and take effect immediately, while some spells are "channeled" and have their effects occur over the duration of the cast. Others take effect after a specific "cast time", with typically more powerful spells having longer cast times. Regardless of the type of spell, there is a global cooldown that prevents rapidfire spellcasting even with "instant" spells. Various factors can reduce a spell's "cast time" from its base "cast time" (specified in the spell):

Others take effect after a specific "cast time", with typically more powerful spells having longer cast times. Regardless of the type of spell, there is a global cooldown that prevents rapidfire spellcasting even with "instant" spells. Various factors can reduce a spell's "cast time" from its base "cast time" (specified in the spell):
* Class talents: Most classes have talents that can reduce the cast time of:
* A specific spell, such as Light's Grace and its effect on Holy Light
* A class of spell, such as Divine Fury
* A school of spell, such as all holy spells
* All spells in general, such as Martyrdom and the Focused Casting effect.
* Spells: Some classes have spells that temporarily reduce the cast time of subsequent spells, such as Nature's Swiftness. Spell haste is calculated based on modified casting speed; for example, with the warlock's Bane talent, the spell haste would be calculated with 2.5 second Shadowbolts rather than 3 seconds.
* Certain items: Provide a "spell haste" bonus or a "spell haste rating" bonus. Spell haste rating is used to determine the characters spell haste bonus. At level 70, 15.77 (as of 2.2) points of spell haste rating grants 1% spell haste bonus. As of 2.4.0 spell haste also influences spellcasting global cooldown. Certain debuffs, such as Curse of Tongues or Mind-numbing Poison, can decrease your casting speed.
