40/40
40/40 refers to a weapon set composed of a wand and a focus, each with 20% HCT and 20% HSR upgrades devoted to a single attribute. Despite the term, a 40/40 set only has a 36% chance of halving casting and/or spell recharge times.

Mechanics
Each of the wand's and the focus's respective effects have an independent chance of triggering. If both HCT mods or both HSR mods trigger at the same time, casting and recharge times are only halved; the same effect does not stack. This leaves us with 4 possible results, summarized below (for detailed calculations, see the talk page).
| Result | Casting time | Spell recharge time | Percentage chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nothing |  |
|
40.96% |
| HSR only | |
½ | 23.04% |
| HCT only | ½ | |
23.04% |
| HCT & HSR | ½ | ½ | 12.96% |
- These events are independent and add up to 100%. See the talk page for further calculations.
Alternatively, we can consider the simplistic case of 4 overlapping results:
- 64% chance that recharge time isn't halved.
- 64% chance that casting time isn't halved.
- 36% chance that recharge time is halved (triggered by wand, focus, or both).
- 36% chance that casting time is halved (triggered by wand, focus, or both).
- These events are not independent and add up to more than 100%. See the talk page for further calculations.
