Cast delay
Cast delay is the interval applied around spell casts. A wand's cast delay and a spell's own delay modifier both affect the time between shots.
How it works
The guide explains that actual cast delay combines the wand's setting with the inherent modifier on the spell. It also says wand cast delay is added each time a spell is cast, and the delay after the final spell can combine with recharge time.
Your next step
Consider the delay modifier of each spell when comparing firing cadence.
