MAGIC TERMS:

Level of experience/spell caster

Refers to the experience level of the person who is casting the magic. This is a very important distinction, particularlt in a combat situation, because the higher the experience level of the spell caster, the more powerful the spell. Many invocations will indicate something like 'Duration: 5 melees per level of experience.' or '1D damage per level of the spell caster.' and so on. This means that a 3rd level mage with a spell duration of 5 melees per level of spell caster, upon casting this spell, can maintain the spell's effects for a maximum duration of 15 melees (5 melees for each level of experience = 15 melees).
