Swiftness is a level 2 Air/Charms spell which reduces your movement delay.

Effect

Once cast movement delay is reduced by 25%, making it easier to escape combat or pursue fleeing enemies. However, after the speed boost ends, your movement speed will be 50% slower for the same amount of time. For centaurs, and anyone with movement delay 7, the fluctuation is smaller: the increase only brings them to 0.6, a 16.7% bonus, while the penalty slows them by 20%.[1]

Swiftness affects formicids, despite their stasis.

Limitations

  • This spell does stack with other sources of speed, such as Haste and boots of running.
  • Be aware that if you move onto water (without being airborne), your Swiftness is temporarily ineffective.
  • Spriggans cannot cast this spell unless under the effect of transmutations which restore 1.0 move speed (or slower).
  • Centaurs only receive a 1 point bonus.
  • Swiftness will stack with haste, however, resulting in fluctuations in movement speed between 0.4 and 0.6.
  • Cheibriados dislikes the use of Swiftness -- using it will incur penance.

History

  • Prior to 0.14, there was no slow down after the spell ended, but it penalized stealth and trap detection while active. It also reduced move delay by a flat 0.2 instead of giving a percentage bonus.
  • Prior to 0.13 this spell couldn't be cast while standing in shallow water.
