The Book of Magic lists all cloud spells by regular level 1-15. While this does not change how the relevant OCC's and RCC's learn those spells, it does determine their casting times.

But they run from levels 1-15, so some fall in different catagories. :)

Apparently my memory got them confused :lol:

Well then. Considering the first edition had that too, I guess the only fair thing is to keep them all at the baseline. Assume they're all level 1 spells 8-)

While it's not an entirely reliable guide (NPCs seldom follow the rules exactly), one could look for a Lyn-Srial character writeup and see how many Cloud Magic spells that character can cast per melee. If it's at least 2 spells per melee, then it's probably safe to assume that Cloud Magic spells are as quick to cast as low-level Invocations.
