Actually, I think you'll find that the majority of first level spells
require a segment, not a round, to cast. Segments are six seconds long.
Other spells vary, some being as long as a round, (One full minute) and
some taking even longer.
Six seconds is still not instantaneous, however, so your point is still
valid. As we all know, in Shadowrun, a fight can be long over in six
seconds. (Though I don't know that it would be all that valid to
translate DnD combat time into SR.)
