The Spellcasting skill determines how proficient a character is at casting spells from memory. A higher Spellcasting level makes it easier to cast spells by lowering their spell hunger, increasing their spell power slightly, and granting your character more max MP and spell levels. It has a minor effect on spell success rate, however; increasing skill in each spell's individual magic schools is better for raising spell succes.
Note that the max MP increase granted by Spellcasting is not cumulative with that of Invocations or Evocations; only the highest of the three is used. Also, for balancing reasons, it takes longer for characters to train Spellcasting than any other skill. Each level requires 130% of the normal amount of experience.
