'''Slow''' is a level 1 [[Hexes]] spell that makes the target [[slow]]er if the target fails a [[willpower]] check. At higher [[spell power]], the target is slowed for a longer period of time.

==Strategy==
*As a level 1 spell, Slow is easy to train into - even heavily armored players should be able to cast it with a little bit of investment. Given the vast range of applications, it can be considered once more important skills are adequately trained.
*Note that Slow doesn't only reduce movement, it slows ALL actions by 50%. This can be game-changing against enemies who already attack slow, such as [[Ogre (monster)|Ogre]]s. Just make sure to cast it before going into melee range.
*It can prove really useful in corridors should you need to escape; Slow the enemy in front and enjoy your disengage having impaired an entire group of enemies for 1MP.
*Slowing any [[haste]]d or [[berserk]]ed enemies will return them their normal speed for as long the debuff lasts.

==Monster Spell==
The monster version of this spell functions similarly to the player version, but is much harder to resist.
