This spell slows the actions of a creature.

Slow is a level 2 Hexes spell which causes the target's movement and actions to take 50% longer than normal. It can seriously reduce the damage output of monsters, and makes it much easier to escape pursuers. At higher spell power, the target is slowed for a longer period of time. Magic resistance can prevent it, as can an amulet of stasis.

A wand of slowing, potion of slowing, cloud of miasma, curare-tipped needle, Metabolic Englaciation or Leda's Liquefaction will all have the same "slow" effect, but some of them will check other parameters or resistances instead of magic resistance.

History

In 0.10 Slow received a small power boost.

Prior to 0.8 slowing made every action take twice as long.
