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