Ya, like I told Austin theres special weapons and shields with the "Spell Channeling" property on them. That property allows you to cast with them equipped. Although most spell channeling weps/shields usually have a -1 fast casting. You will eventually want to find a SCing wep w/o the negative.
Im not sure if some of you are aware but as mages you cant really wear any old armor. Well, I suppose you could, but its going to affect your mana regen. The only armor that natually lets you meditate is leather armor. If you want other types of medable armor you need to find armor with the "Mage Armor" mod, that allows you to med with it on w/o affecting your mana regen.
As for dungeon lights, I haven't really looked into it, I just cast night sight on myself and its usually alright. Maybe if I can figure out how to brighten it up a tad I will.
Your right, casting does suck. When age of shadows came out they made regular casting really slow. The only way to get up to a half way decent casting speed is by getting jewelery with the "Fast Casting and Fast Cast Recovery" mods on it.
Basically as you can probably tell from the above posts, Age of Shadows made UO item based big time, which really sucks.. but thats just the way it is. Im trying my best to increase magic drops on various monsters so hopefully finding the right equipment wont be so bad.
