BUG(?): improved initiative

My sourcerer has improved initiative.
So shouldn't he cast spell faster than a wizard without imp. ini. ?

The in-game information says:

... the casting time for all spells is reduced by one to a minimum of 1.

so I tested it with fireball (casting time = 3)

now my sourcerer should cast it faster (c. t. = 2)

than the wizard (c. t. = 3).

but both need the same time to cast the spell.

Has anyone else tested it?

I need help, because I'd love it to cast my spells faster.

I've heard from two sources that the feat doesn't work at all.

That's nice to know, all my characters have improved initiative :)

Half of mine did when I found out about that.. luckily I was level 3, so I just started over ;) One feat isn't so much of a loss anyway ^_^

My 4 guys are all lvl 10+, hehe :) Too late. But you're right, it's not that much of a drawback, let's say it makes the game more challenging :)

It is not fixed. I tested it after patching the game!
sad but true.
