View source for Spell duration

The length of time a spell lasts.  Where [[hour]]s or [[minute]]s are used, these are in game time.  Where a specific number of rounds are used, it is necessary to multiply by the length of (real) time of those units.

*1 [[hour]] in NWN2 defaults to 2 [[minute]]s, although can differ from module to module.
*1 [[minute]] in NWN2 is 60 seconds, or 10 [[round]]s
*1 [[round]] in NWN2 is 6 seconds

Game [[hour]]s are dependent on module settings and is therefore inconsistent.  The default setting is 2 minutes to 1 hour.

Many spells have instantaneous effects, and therefore don't have any kind of duration based of the casters level or a unit of time.

== Old values of time ==

The old term '''turn''' is depreciated and is not refered to in NWN2. A turn was used in NWN1 to refer to 60 seconds duration, and can still be found with the function [[TurnsToSeconds]]() in NWN2.
