I still don't get how spells work sometimes. Sometimes I cast Bolt and it goes off right away, sometimes 2-3 other people do things before it goes off.
Spells have a charge stat, and it basically works the same as a character's speed stat. When you are looking at your available spells, you can hit a button, I forget which, that will show you the order of actions if you choose that spell. That will tell you if the unit you are trying to target is going to get to move before your spell executes.
