I thought somewhat fishy; right from the start of the game you can cast two of the same spells at the same time. It also has an obvious effect of taking enemies down quicker than just shooting from one hand. However, I didn't understand how the dual casting perk would make this any different. I saved the game before picking it. I simply went up to it and held down my casting in anticipation that I was out of magicka and looked at how much health it has. I did this a few times just to ensure there was no room for error. I then did the test once more a few times subsequent to picking the dual casting perk. There is nothing changed other than the casting graphic. Its health ended up exactly the same when I was out of magicka as it was before ever picking up that perk. This maybe just an issue with a low level Destruction skill or the default spells just not doing enough damage that whatever hidden modifier this perk is supposed to add gets added but for now it doesn't do anything.
