Split-school spell research time:
% influenced by school is linear. (0)Conj+(2)Div = 25% Conj.
Research time modied by highest level + half of next highest + quarter third highest. (0)Conj+(2)Div = +12.5% time.
(3)Div+(1)Conj = +16.7%
(0)Ench+(0)Mind = +50%
With multiple researchers of different specialties, they're not directly penalized for off-skills, but will have trouble with imblanced school requirements. If a duo-researched spell is 40% mind, the mind specialist will spend 80% of his time on mind, and 20% on the next easiest for himself. Everyone gets the same base school knowledge gains.
-Conjure Divined Telepathy(3Div/3Mind/1Conj): +62.5% time

Special spell info
Conjure Divining Stone: Gains 25% from Conjure Stone, 15% from View Object
On spell improvement:
Spells at [2.00] are considered baseline. They may be researched up to [5.00] to improve various aspects. This is basically +3 upgrade points, which may be used to upgrade part of it [damage, less mana cost] or new abilities
[Ghost steals lifeforce to maintain itself, Golem self-repairs].
Once a spell is at [5.00], you may research a near-identical successor at the next teir, with a research bonus until [2.00]. Think of it as throwing make-shift add-ons at a spaceship, then making a new one, designed from the outset to include them.
You should see better overall results if you include disadvantages. There's only so much damage you can get out of an instant fire bolt spell without increasing the mana costs.
Two-person casting:
Increases mana costs by 25%. Easily interrupted, expected combat failure rate of 33%-50%, based on conditions. Increased cast time by 50%.
