By utilizing proper positioning, skilled players can significantly increase the power level of these skills as well as the area that they cover. Many of these skills were reworked because they were too unwieldy to play normally due to conditionals or poor synergies with other skills. In the case of Mirror of Ice, the skill was providing too much power in PvP without being useful in PvE.}}

A [[doublecast skill]] is a type of [[Enchantment spell]] unique to the [[elementalist]] profession which can be cast on an ally and has effect on both the ally and the caster. Each of the doublecast skills belong to a different attribute among the five elementalist attributes. All skills based on an elemental attribute cause related damage to [[foe]]s [[adjacent]] or [[nearby|near]] both the [[target]] [[ally]] and the [[caster]].

Skills in the subtype have the following features in common:
* They can target a non-[[spirit]] ally (or the caster) or foe.
* They have an on-application benefit.
* They are [[elite skill]]s.

== Notes ==
* [[Mirror of Disenchantment]] can remove a doublecast enchantment from both the caster and its ally if they are members of the same [[party]].
{{anomaly|
* By selecting a foe, you can cast doublecast enchantments on allies using [[Vow of Silence]] or standing inside a [[Well of the Profane]].  
* As expected, if you select an ally while casting a doublecast skill, it will trigger [[Shame]], but not [[Guilt]] or [[Mistrust]]. However, if you instead select a foe, the opposite will happen: it will trigger Guilt and Mistrust, but not Shame.
* Similarly, you can use doublecast skills while selecting an ''ally'' enchanted with [[Shadow Form]]. However, if you selected a ''foe'' protected by [[spell targeting prevention]], you will end up casting the skill on yourself ''unless'' the foe is out of range (in which case, you will be unable to cast at all until you are closer or select a different target).}}
