SLOW

---

Syntax:  cast slow [target]

Despite popular mythology, slow is not the opposite of haste, but is a spell
with it's own unique set of effects.  When cast on an unfortunate victim, it
slows its movements, making it easier to hit and reducing its rate of attack.
The effect of slow also doubles movement costs and halves healing rates, due to
reduced metabolism.  Slow can be negated by the haste spell.  If no target is
given, it is assumed to be the foe the caster is attacking.

Note: Slow has one benefit.  If you are poisoned, being slowed prevents the
      poison from doing any damage.
