Static spells are defined as “spells wherein one no longer has influence over the condition of the target once the casting has finished.” What this means is that static spells are spells that, once cast, have an immediate effect that you cannot change until the spell is complete.

Dynamic spells are defined as “spells wherein the caster may maintain some connection to and/or influence over a target, even long after the casting has been completed.’ This means that dynamic spells are spells ones where you must maintain a flow of concentration with the spell in order to keep the spell going.
