Skill: Arcane Chant Skill Type: Passive Skill Tier: 2 Attribute: None Effect: Reduces chanting time for casting magic spells. Allows the skill owner to cast magic without needing to chant the magic spell out loud.

Description:

[Arcane Chant] is one of the more common skills a magician might possess.

This skill is a fusion of the [Hushed Chant] skill and the [Short Chant] skill, both being obtainable from the [Mage] class and both also being support skills for casting magic without needing a magic catalyst of some kind.

[Arcane Chant]'s effect is a fusion of both, being able to completely negate the need to chant the magic spell out loud, even making it possible to do it so in one's head if one has the concentration and talent for it, as well as reducing the casting time needed for each spell to a higher degree compared to [Short Chant].

Needless to say, this skill might look worthless for magicians who have a magic catalyst on hand, however, the 3rd tier evolution of this skill is only obtainable by using a "Magic Catalyst Proficiency" skill such as [Wand Catalyst] or [Grimoire Catalyst], and this is also the only possible way to obtain a 3rd tier "Magic Catalyst Proficiency" skill as well.

In short, this skill is a necessity for any pure magician, no matter how one is casting one's magic.

Noire's comment: One more reason as to why this skill is necessary is that it prevents the more mature casters from dying out of shame if they have to loudly say the more "advanced" magic chants.

Garami's comment: In that case, the most powerful magicians must be the edgiest edgelords out there, huh...
