The act of '''casting''' can be done by all character [[class]]es, and a wide variety of [[monsters]] and [[NPC]]s. It simply means the time between initiating the use of a [[skill]] or ability until it is released. A [[cooldown]] period generally start after a casting, preventing the [[caster]] from using the same skill again for a short while.
Casting is often near instant in the [[Diablo game]]s, but a some skills have a slightly longer casting time. While casting, the character is generally immobilised, and if hit before the skill is completed, it's usually cancelled without the cost of [[mana]] (or other [[resource pool|resource]]).
Stronger spells generally have a longer casting time.
