Im currently creating some new spells, and i want to put a cooldown timer on a few of them. I know how to do this using magical effects and scripts to check if the effect exists. What im not sure of is getting the number of seconds remaining on the magic cooldown effect, and displaying that in game. For example, you try to cast a spell with a cooldown twice in a row, in the left hand corner of the screen, it will display a message saying "You cannot cast this spell for another # seconds. Anyone know how i can get the actual number of remaining seconds on a magical effect?

globals + quest + text replacement

Currently, you would have to have each of these spells register for an update every second or half-second and adjust a global variable which you print to screen.
