What do you think?
I'd even keep the possibility of taking -10 to reduce casting time to 1 second, no matter how long it normally takes. Similar to how treating wounds "instantanously" in DF takes one second. In fact, I have introduced this same rule in my games. Coulnd't share any experience though, my players weren't interested in using or abusing it.
