Slow is a warding spell that makes the air around a victim denser, slowing down the target's actions and causing an instant 3 seconds of 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.
Training in Elemental Lore, Air will unlock an open cast version of the spell and will also increase the RT effect on the target.
