Slow is a warding spell that makes the air around a victim denser, slowing down the target's actions and causing up to 3 seconds of immediate roundtime (RT). The degree of the effect is dependent upon a caster's skill and on the total roundtime of the effort the victim is attempting. If Rapid Fire (515) is active on the caster, then slow will cause 1 second of immediate roundtime on the target vs. 3 seconds.

The duration of the slow is based on the standard negative duration formula.

Training in Elemental Lore, Air will unlock an open cast version of the spell and will also increase the RT effect on the target.
