By making the air around a victim denser, the slow spell slows down the target's actions (roundtime). The degree of the effect is dependent upon a caster's skill and on the total roundtime (RT) of the effort the victim is attempting.

An open cast version of the spell may be cast as described below.

Usage

  • PREP 504 | CAST {target} or INCANT 504 to cast this spell at a single target
  • PREP SLOW|CAST to open cast this spell (requires at least 20 ranks of Elemental Lore, Air).
  • INCANT SET OPEN 504 to always open cast this spell with INCANT.

Lore Benefits

Training in the Elemental Lore, Air has three benefits:

Increased Roundtime Effect

Training in Air Lore will increase the roundtime effect as follows:

Elemental Lore, Air ranks 24 100 200
Additional seconds of roundtime 1 2 3
Spell description expresses thresholds in skill at 100, 200, and 300 respectively. Ranks shown for clarity and consistency.

Open Cast

20 ranks of Air Lore unlocks an open cast version of the spell to affect multiple creatures in the same room as the caster.

Increased Number of Targets

Further training in Air Lore will increase the number of targets in the open cast version of the spell by 1 for every 20 ranks.

Total targets = 1 + (Elemental Lore, Air Ranks / 20)
Elemental Lore, Air ranks 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240
Total # of targets 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
