A seemingly weak ability, but given that a spellcasters main job is to cast spells, this makes them more survivable. The speed boost is a tiny amount and will only make a difference some of the time. The +5 Melee defence, however is pretty solid and can help a caster survive a few more hits. While this does not make them combat effective, it makes them more likely to survive and be able to cast more spells.
