Swiftness is a level 3 Air spell which temporarily reduces your movement delay, then slows you after.
Useful Info
Grants the Swift status, reducing movement delay by 25%. This makes it easier to escape combat or pursue fleeing enemies. However, after the speed boost ends, you will gain -Swift, preventing recasting and making your movement speed 50% slower for the same amount of time. For a regular, 10 speed player, you'll take 0.8 and 1.5 decaAut to move under Swift and -Swift, respectively.
If you happen to have a movement delay of 0.7, the speed fluctuation is smaller: the increase only brings them to 0.6, a 16.7% bonus, while the penalty slows them by 20%.[1] Swiftness can not reduce your movement delay below 0.6, meaning Spriggans receive no benefit (unless under a transformation with slower movement speed).
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 flight), your Swiftness is temporarily suppressed.
- Due to their stasis, Formicids cannot cast Swiftness.
- Cheibriados dislikes the use of Swiftness -- using it will incur penance.
Monster Version
While monsters can't cast Swiftness, they instead get the functionally equivalent 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.
History
- Prior to 0.27, this spell was a level 2 Air 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.
