''For passive MP recovery, see [[Channeling]].''

'''Channeling spells''' are a group of spells that can be recast ("channeled") on subsequent turns by [[wait]]ing (with '''.''' or '''s'''). They include:
*[[Searing Ray]]
*[[Flame Wave]]
*[[Launch Clockwork Bee]]
*[[Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling]]

==Useful Info==
After casting a channeling spell, it can be channeled by [[wait]]ing. Depending on the exact spell, channeling can cause the spell to cast again or progress the spell's timer. Doing so counts as waiting for the purposes of the [[acrobat]] property.

The exact mechanics vary by spell:
*'''Searing Ray''': Channeling will recast the spell, dealing the same damage but costing 1 MP per channel. Can be channeled 3 times per original cast.
*'''Flame Wave''': Channeling will recast the spell, dealing the same damage, increasing the spell's radius by 1, but costing 1 MP per channel. Can be channeled 2 times per original cast, or 3 times with [[Vehumet]]'s range boost.
*'''Launch Clockwork Bee''' Channeling the spell is used as a timer; once the channeling ends, the clockwork bee is created. Requires an original cast + 3 turns of channeling.
*'''Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling''': Channeling the spell is used as a timer; once the channeling ends, the instant kill occurs. Requires a [[spellpower]]-dependent channeling time.

Being moved by any effect (an [[elephant]]'s trampling attack, the [[Primal Wave]] spell, an unintentional [[blink]], etc.) ends the channel, as does [[Silence]]. [[Paralysis]], [[confusion]], [[sleep]], and full [[petrification]] will pause channeling.
