(Alteration)
Level: 3
Range: 90 yds. + 10 yds./level

Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 3 segments
Saving Throw: Negates
A Slow spell causes affected creatures to move and attack at half their normal rates. It negates a Haste spell or equivalent, but does not otherwise affect
magically speeded or slowed creatures. Slowed creatures have an Armor Class
penalty of +4 AC, an attack penalty of -4, and all Dexterity combat bonuses are negated. The magic affects a number of creatures equal to the spellcaster's
level, if they are with in the area of effect chosen by the magic-user (i.e., a 40-foot
cubic volume centered as called for by the caster). The creatures are affected
from the center of the spell outward. Saving throws against the spell suffer
a -4 penalty. The material component of this spell is a drop of molasses.
