+Now lvl 18 Spell Mastery, Mind Bar is updated to 6 turns (7 * 0.82 rounded up). Also, it appears that Spell Mastery affects the spell Armageddon for the servers on which it is active. At lvl 18 SM, Armageddon takes 123 turns to cast rather than 150 (150 * 0.82). Given the amount of turns Armageddon requires, we can determine with absolute certainty that slivers7's formula is accurate.

 As a Phantasm mage with lvl 14 Spell Mastery, Weather Summoning cost 7 turns instead of 8, while Mind Bar remained at a 7-turn cost. Using slivers7's formula, and inserting Weather Summoning and Mind Bar turn costs, we receive the following respective returns:
-Weather Summoning = 6.88 turns, round up to 7.<br>
+*Weather Summoning = 6.88 turns, round up to 7.<br>
-Mind Bar = 6.02 turns, round up to 7.
+*Mind Bar = 6.02 turns, round up to 7.
 So it appears that ANY fraction will be rounded up, and at lvl 4 as well as 14 slivers7's formula is accurate.
