This skill allows a character to cast two identical spells at the same time. The caster must pay the power point cost for each spell and use two purchases of every Warlock skill they use in the casting. However the character only needs one use of the speed cast skill.
The caster must use both hands within the normal 5 second limit after saying the verbal; the spell packets do not need to have been thrown simultaneously, and the caster may transfer a spell packet from one hand to the other during this time. It is not possible to augment only one of the spells with a Warlock skill.
This skill can only be used with a speed cast when used by the character and not when invoked from an item or read from a scroll. One defense that stops spells must be used for each spell, even if both spells are directed against the same target. This is true even when using a Dodge skill to stop the attack.
For example, Lascula is fighting some Sea Elves and one of them attacks him, casting a spell “With Perfect Aim, Double Cast Death Slave Spell”. Lascula calls “Dodge, Dodge” and moves behind a large rock. The Warlock can no longer see him. After the fight, the players hand over their tags and Lascula needs to mark off two uses of his dodge skills, one for each of the Death Slave spells cast.
To use this skill, the caster must have nothing but a spell packet in each hand and prefix the spell verbal with “Double Cast…“
