The Blizzard spell from the Water spell book still required the additional turn to be cast.
Note: Savant is a Mage trait that provides "-1 to casting times"
Casting time is the number of actions after the current action that are used to cast the spell. 0 Casting Time spells are instant (1 Round only). 1 Casting Time spells use the casting action and one more. 2 Casting Time spells use the casting action and two more. If it is the case that Blizzard still required three actions, then it would be a bug. 1 Casting Time uses two actions. Is this what is happening? Blizzard would normally use up Three Actions, the casting action and 2 turns casting time, so if you have Savant it should take the casting action and 1 turn casting time (total of 2 actions to successfully cast the spell).
That explains it.
The Blizzard scroll and the Heart of the Glacier both have zero casting time.
Having a casting time of 2 seems unreasonable since by the time it gets cast the enemy units have moved and make selection of the area difficult or the battle is over.
