Why Blade Spirits takes MUCH longer than Energy Vortex to be cast ?
Blade Spirits is a Circle 5 spell.
Energy Vortex is a Circle 8 spell.
Now, the casting time for Blade Spirits is way longer as compared to that for Energy Vortex which, by the way, does also more damage as compared to Blade Spirits.
Why is that ?

Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
Perhaps, its casting time should be significantly reduced, especially when mostly lower Magery skill characters might be those using this summon ?
@Kyronix , would you perhaps want to consider such a change ?
Thank you for the info.
The last line, says that the 2005 Pubish "reduced" the time to cast Blade Spirits to 3/5 as they used to...
Does that mean that before the 2005 Publish it took even longer to cast Blade Spirits ?
WOW !!
To me, the casting time now seems extremely long especially, when compared to the casting time of an Energy Vortex which is a Circle 8 spell and does more damage when Blade Spirits instead, is only a Circle 5 spell and, as others have mentioned, is seen by many UO players as a not much useful Summon as there are better ones in UO which can be cast...
Energy vortexes and blade spirits will function a lot like the field spells with regards to the reputation consequences.
They still attack victims normally, and the caster is completly responsible for their actions.
This includes being cast as a murderer should the blade spirit/vortex attack and contribute to the death of the victim.

Some players do everything with 2 EVs and fireballs.
