- Chainspell is a Red Mage's Two Hour Ability.
- While active, all spells cast will have zero cast time other than the casting animation. However, spells still cannot be cast non-stop as there is still an approximate 2.5 - 3 second delay after casting a spell that you must wait before you're able to start casting another one.
- All spells cast while this ability is active will have their recast timers reduced to zero, meaning that the same spell could be immediately cast again.
- Be aware that activating this ability does not cause any spells that are recharging to immediately become available. If you intend to use spells with long recast times during Chainspell, make sure they are ready to be cast prior to engaging Chainspell.
- MP costs of spells used while under Chainspell's effect are not reduced or affected in any other way.
- Chainspell does NOT prevent spells from being interrupted due to movement. It is difficult (but not impossible) for enemies to interrupt your casting while Chainspell is active.
- Depending on the enemy, it is advisable to have some sort of safeguard against attacks such as sleep.
- A common use of Chainspell is for the Red Mage to use the subjob Dark Knight, giving them access to the spell Stun. This combination can keep a mob stunned for the full minute and is often used for zergs/dangerous periods of a mob fight.
