Subject Overheat
Mages channel a greater deal of their energies to cast in rapid succession. While the mind is overheating at full capacity, the mage can cast up to 3x faster, reducing the lag time between spells, but it is a great deal more taxing. Spells would cost somewhere between 50-100% more mana. Not sure which number would be best. Can only use Overheat when casting out_of_combat. If you lose concentration turning Overheat on (it is a short duration spell) you take a small amount of damage. We have a lot of spellups, can offer a lot, and I think it would be a nice niche for mages (and likely Illusionists) to use their setup spells and utility spells faster than others if they wish to pay the price.
