    Just to make sure I understand; Would it take me 3 seconds to place the preparation (as in, be rooted in place) and it's ready to be activated after that
    or
    do I place it instantly but can move away and I just can't activate it until 3 seconds have passed?

    It's a fairly quick 1/2 second cast. I'll look to edit the post and incorporate this info.
