Description
### Describe the bug
My game displays a channel time of 80 moves but no time appears to pass when I spend all my stamina casting it 10 times.
I am holding a smartphone and the seconds don't roll over and the generated electric charge doesn't zap out of the tile next to me as I build it up over those 10 casts.
### Attach save file
[Oak City-trimmed.tar.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/29988086/Oak.City-trimmed.tar.gz)
### Steps to reproduce
Cast static touch over and over and note that no time elapses.
### Expected behavior
The channel time should elapse when I cast it.
### Screenshots
After resting to full stamina (8:24:36 AM on my sidebar):
Subsequently cast it 10 times, time is still 8:24:36, large field builds up next to me:
The electricity starts spreading out after that if I wait one second.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the Oak City-trimmed.tar.gz save file and inspect debug.log while casting Static Touch repeatedly. Trace the spell's channel-time handling and verify that the in-game clock advances during each cast and the generated electric charge propagates as expected.
