 Applies the [[slow]]ed status effect for creatures in the caster's line of sight. The duration of this effect is dependent on [[spell power]] and inversely proportional to monster [[HD]]; it does not check [[willpower]]. Duration is doubled for [[cold-blooded]] targets. [[Cold resistance|Cold resistant]] and [[stationary]] monsters are unaffected by this spell. Using this spell on an already slowed creature will increase its duration.
-The slow effect will last for <code>3d(pow+1)/6 - HD/2 - 0.5</code> turns.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|spl-monench.cc|40}}</ref> If this results in ≤ 0 turns, then the spell is resisted, otherwise it has a minimum of (1 + 1d4) turns. Cold-blooded creatures have their duration doubled ''after'' the turns > 0 check, meaning they aren't more likely to be slowed.

 ==Strategy==
-While this spell may not be as impressive as other Hexes, Metabolic Englaciation can still be valuable as a crowd-control spell. Even if you can't slow down the most dangerous monsters, you can disable whole packs of "mook" enemies, such as [[vault guard]]s and [[list of draconians|draconians]]. Unlike [[Cause Fear]], Metabolic Englaciation checks HD instead of willpower.

 High spellpower is vital for this spell's function; power increases the chance to slow, as well as the duration of the slow.
