Persistence of Memory

This skill is pointless. 1) Fast Cast prevents interrupt to a certain degree; 2) The energy is still wasted when you get interrupted

Suggestion

Add: "You gain 5...54...66% of the base spell cost of the casting spell." I feel that making this return 100% of the energy maybe too good and may completely replace GoE.

Some potential problems that I foresee: May be overpowered to pair with GoE. Because you spend 0 energy to cast, and getting interrupted will actually give you a positive energy gain.

Low duration.

Inefficient interruption counter due to it's energy cost. (interruption also hurts energy)

Suggestion

Effect: Enchantment Spell. For 10...22...25 seconds, whenever a spell you cast is interrupted, that spell is instantly recharged.

Dali is awesome. This skill does not do him justice. At the very least it doesn't see use, because it's useless. I'd suggest a rewrite.

Suggestion

10e//1c//20r Enchantment Spell. Teleport to target foe. For every recharging skill you have, one of target's skills is disabled for 0..7..9 seconds. Next time you activate a skill you are teleported back to your previous location and this enchantment ends.

Alternatively, lower the energy cost to 5 and recharge to 15.

-See Above:

Suggestion

• Persistence of Memory -

5 ¼ 12 - (Fast Casting) - Enchantment Spell. (3...7...8 seconds.) Your interrupted spells recharge instantly.
