Channel

Some spells can be channeled for greater effects, increasing the action required to cast it. There are two types of channeling, greater and lesser channeling. The only difference between the two (except the effect as described in the spell) is how they affect casting time (as seen below).

Table: Channeling

Lesser Channeling
Original Action	Modified Action
Immediate	Swift
Swift	Move
Move	Standard
Standard	Full-Round
Full-Round	1 Round
1 Round	2 Rounds
2 Rounds	3 Rounds
3 Rounds	4 Rounds
X Rounds	X+1 Rounds
X Minute	X+1 Minute
X Hours	X+1 Hours
Greater Channeling
Original Action	Modified Action
Free	Swift
Immediate	Move
Swift	Standard
Move	Full-Round
Standard	1 Round
Full-Round	5 Round
1 Round	1 Minute
2 Rounds	2 Minutes
3 Rounds	3 Minutes
X Rounds	X Minutes
X Minutes	X Hours
X Hours	X Days

It is possible to channel a spell many times; apply lesser channeling first, then the modified action after each channeling becomes the new original action.

For example, a spell whose original casting time is an immediate action is channeled twice (1 lesser, 1 greater). The casting time increase to swift, then to standard action.
