Swiftness is a level 3 Air spell which temporarily reduces your movement delay.
Effect
Once cast movement delay is reduced by 25%, making it easier to escape combat or pursue fleeing enemies. However, after the speed boost ends, your movement speed will be 50% slower for the same amount of time. For anyone with movement delay 7, the fluctuation is smaller: the increase only brings them to 0.6, a 16.7% bonus, while the penalty slows them by 20%.[1]
Monster Version
While monsters can't cast Swiftness, they instead get the functionally equivilent Sprint. Sprint boosts the movement speed of the caster, but has no penalty or cooldown afterwards.
Player ghosts with Swiftness will have their spells replaced.
Limitations
- This spell stacks with other sources of speed, such as Haste and the lightning scales.
- Be aware that if you move into water (without being airborne), your Swiftness is temporarily suppressed.
- Spriggans cannot cast this spell unless under the effect of transformations which slow them to 1.0 move speed (or slower).
- Due to their stasis, Formicids cannot cast Swiftness.
- Cheibriados dislikes the use of Swiftness -- using it will incur penance.
History
- Prior to 0.27, this spell was a level 2 Air Magic spell.
- Prior to 0.26, Swiftness was a dual-school, level 2 Air/Charms spell.
- Prior to 0.25, Formicids could use Swiftness.
- Prior to 0.14, there was no slowdown after the spell ended, but it penalized stealth and trap detection while active. It also reduced move delay by a flat 0.2 instead of by a percentage.
- Prior to 0.13 this spell couldn't be cast while standing in shallow water.
