A slow spell causes affected creatures to move and attack at one-half of the normal or current rate. Thus, it negates a haste spell (q.v.), has cumulative effect if cast upon creatures already slowed, and otherwise affects magically speeded or slowed creatures. The magic will affect as many creatures as the spell caster has levels of experience, providing these creatures are within the area of effect determined by the magic-user, i.e. the 4” x 4” area which centers in the direction and at the range called for by the caster. The material component of this spell is a drop of treacle.
