Most spells have a casting time of 1 [[standard action]]. Others take 1 round or more, while a few require only a [[swift action]].

A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a [[full-round action]]. It comes into effect just before the beginning of your turn in the round after you began casting the spell. You then act normally after the spell is completed.
A spell that takes 1 round to cast is a [[full-round action]], and comes into effect at the end of your current turn.


A spell that takes 1 minute to cast comes into effect just before your turn 1 minute later (and for each of those 10 rounds, you are casting a spell as a [[full-round action]], just as noted above for 1-round casting times). These actions must be consecutive and uninterrupted, or the spell automatically fails.
A spell that takes 1 minute to cast comes into effect at the end of your tenth round of casting (and for each of those 10 rounds, you are casting a spell as a [[full-round action]], just as noted above for 1-round casting times). These actions must be consecutive and uninterrupted, or the spell automatically fails.


When you begin a spell that takes 1 round or longer to cast, you must continue the [[concentration]] from the current round to just before your turn in the next round (at least). If you lose [[concentration]] before the casting is complete, you lose the spell.
When you begin a spell that takes more than one round to cast, you must continue the [[concentration]] from the current round to the end of your turn in whatever round the casting time is completed (at least). If you lose [[concentration]] before the casting is complete, you lose the spell.
 
During any round in which you used a full-round action to cast, or continue casting, a spell, you may not make [[attacks of opportunity]], or use [[immediate action]]s, until the start of your next turn.
