-The [[Spellcasting]] skill determines how proficient a character is at casting [[spell]]s from memory. A higher Spellcasting level gives your character more [[spell level]]s and increases your max [[MP]]. It also has a minor effect on your [[spell power]] and [[spell success]] rate, but increasing skill in a spell's individual magic schools has a greater effect on both attributes.

A higher Spellcasting level gives your character more [[spell level]]s and increases your max [[MP]]. It also has a minor effect on your [[spell power]] and [[spell success]] rate (equivalent to having 1/4 of a level in every other spell school).
 Note that the max MP increase granted by Spellcasting is not cumulative with that of [[Invocations]]; only the higher bonus of the two is used. For this purpose, each level of Spellcasting is twice as effective as Invocations.

-The [[Innate Casting]] of a [[Djinni]] gives Spellcasting a unique purpose: Spellcasting skill does not raise their MP or HP, but instead determines their [[spell power]] for all spell schools (equal effect to the other magic schools). While the -3 aptitude seems terrible at first, keep in mind that it counts as double (i.e. an effective +1 aptitude) for dual-school spells, and that ''every'' spell you get can run off a single skill.
