__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Slow''' is a</noinclude><includeonly>A</includeonly> [[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).<section end=description /> 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 [[#Lore Benefits|Elemental Lore, Air]] will unlock an [[open cast]] version of the spell and will also increase the RT effect on the target.

<section end=Air_Lore_Roundtime/>
:''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. The open cast version of the spell costs 4 mana.
<blockquote>
====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.
