Slow (spell)

Slow is a status effect and a level 1 Hexes spell that makes the target slower.

Hedge Wizards can memorize the Slow spell from turn one.

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.

Sources

Other than the Slow spell, the following can inflict slow:

Monster Spell
