Rod of Glamour cast time/Flux Staff
This should have a casting time of the spell "Alliance" nor can non-bards move and cast it this was applied at the same time as a similar nerf to the Staff of Temperate Flux.

https://web.archive.org/web/20021016...m.html?item=56 The rod uses the cast time of alliance which would not make this an insta. Neither does Lucy agree on it being instant until 2004. When we look at the Flux item we see that the spell lower element is insta thus it could however they may not move while casting with the set of circumstances different with the rod. It requires you top stop momentarily moving and and coming to a halt while it can recast. Whilst both those conditions have been met for the rod then it will not complete its cast. Graffe's will serve you well for insights into the staff for that one and the Alla comments themselves for Enchanters the majority use it situational and nothing I've read makes me believe they were going around casting it all over. hardly any benefit other than the cha bonus for mez while wielding with do the other. I don't see much way to argue around it with it coming from lock solid sources. Ignorance is bliss because the wiz will still be able to kite the enchanter just wont get quite as easy spell gem reset. | |||

I've been looking for player mentions of the flux staff having a casting time and I'm not finding any. I'm thinking the cast time the patch note was referring to was something that was never implemented or was quickly reverted.
Here are some in-era comments about the flux staff being instant, even after those patch notes were posted on 06/15/2000. 12/04/2001 https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...00748759526079 Quote:

Played a wizard on live. Don't recall this change with Staff of the Temperate Flux. If it ever happened, which I doubt, it was so short lived that it's not even memorable.
9/2003 https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...06391898754180 This is further down the line but the functionality seems the same as always and pretty definitive: Quote:
