Other skills that can be stated under magic are: Evaluating Intelligence, Meditation, Inscription, Resisting Spells, and Spirit Speak
Magery may be the most powerful skill there is, with 64 different spells available. Many players select magery as the skill they base all of their gameplay on. Higher magery skill expands the number of spells you can cast, increases spell damage, and increases the effectiveness of some skills such as poison and paralyze.
Players who use magery often will almost always wear jewelry with the properties "faster casting" and "faster cast recovery" (fc and fcr). When wearing gear with a total of 4 fc and 8 fcr, spells can be cast in sequence quite rapidly, and magery becomes a formidable weapon, especially in PVP situations.
