nightmare cast time on npcs is almost instantaneous #1107

The timestamp between those is .25 of a second. It's impossible to react to it or get a bash off. All other spells of that kind of power take time to cast and I have a chance to get a bash off on the mob. This one, it's just suicide as a fighter type to fight mobs that cast this.

In the Master Illusionist's Room
   The tallest building in the city the tower has a commanding view of 
Ashstone.  The entire tower is made of one continuous piece of white 
marble, almost certainly a product of pure magic.  The patterns in the 
marble floor draws in the eye of the viewer.  Finely polished to a mirror 
finish the marble floor gleams in the light.  The light in the tower seems 
to be coming from everywhere but nowhere in particular.  Occasionally a 
mote of magic springs into being, lingers in the air for a moment then 
disappears.  The shadows thrown by the light seem to dance and move about
on their own.
