Slow is a level 2 Hexes spell which attempts to slow down a target.

Effect

If the target fails a magic resistance check, its movement and actions will take 50% longer than normal. This 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. Formicids are immune to the effect due to their stasis.

Other Sources

A wand of random effects, clouds of miasma, curare-tipped darts, 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.
