This should have a casting time of the spell "Alliance" nor can non-bards move and cast it this was applied at the same time as a similar nerf to the Staff of Temperate Flux.

Hello everyone, Over the past few weeks, a portion of the EQ team has been working on The Hole, in preparation of its release in the near future. Even so, a number of changes and additions were made in today's patch. Most of the changes are in regards to quests:
The Robe of the Lost Circle has been enhanced.
The Staff of Temperate Flux and the Rod of Insidious Glamour now have a short casting time associated with their activatable effect (See Below).
The Gunthak Harpoon is again NORENT, meaning that it will disappear when you log off (See Below.)
Casting Times on Staff and Rod:
We received word a few weeks ago that some people were using these items to "spam" other players with their spell-effect messages, causing them to disconnect. Though /ignore will allow you to filter out text messages caused by people on your /ignore list, it will not allow you to filter out spell-effect messages for spells cast upon you.
The short casting time should prevent the problems associated with the targetable and activatable effect on these weapons, however you will have to stand still to use them now.

The rod uses the cast time of alliance which would not make this an insta. Neither does Lucy agree on it being instant until 2004.
When we look at the Flux item we see that the spell lower element is insta thus it could however they may not move while casting with the set of circumstances different with the rod. It requires you top stop momentarily moving and and coming to a halt while it can recast. Whilst both those conditions have been met for the rod then it will not complete its cast.

Graffe's will serve you well for insights into the staff for that one and the Alla comments themselves for Enchanters the majority use it situational and nothing I've read makes me believe they were going around casting it all over. hardly any benefit other than the cha bonus for mez while wielding with do the other. I don't see much way to argue around it with it coming from lock solid sources. Ignorance is bliss because the wiz will still be able to kite the enchanter just wont get quite as easy spell gem reset.
