Spell
If the target fails a willpower check, they will be slowed. At higher spell power, the target is slowed for a longer period of time.
Effect
Slowed creatures take 50% longer for movement and all other actions. Haste and Slow will cancel each other out, without rounding error. This can seriously reduce the damage output of affected creatures, and it is much easier to escape slowed pursurers (but much harder to escape when slowed).
Formicids are completely immune to the effect due to their stasis.
