Using words or actions to make magic happen

noun
/ˈspɛlˌkæstɪŋ/

Spellcasting has levels of usage from the simplest (limited use of selected words) to the most difficult (full use of Korean sentences), and the app checks the process, which is good because if I were running the game, I wouldn't be able to check the spellcasting.

Morphology

spellcasting = spell + cast (transparent) = spell + cast + ing

The noun is derived from the clear combination of 'spell' + 'cast' with the gerundive suffix '-ing' indicating the act of casting spells.

Etymology

The word spellcasting comes from two simple parts: spell 'a set of magical words' and cast 'to throw or send'. So, spellcasting is like 'throwing' or 'sending' words or power to make magic, which is why it means doing magical spells.
