Slow

Slow Words of True Power Control Life Difficulty: 15
Slow an enemy’s movements, in some cases stopping them altogether.

Effect: Target: All within Area: Sphere with Radius: 30m from the caster lose half their movement speed. They also suffer Penalty to all checks made. If a character’s initiative goes below 0 as a result of this effect, they are completely stopped, and for that round, they cannot make any sort of movement or action at all. If a character is flying, they lose their flight ability and fall. If no particular altitude has been defined, assume they fall 3 meters.

This effect lasts for as long as the caster uses spell maintenance.

If the target passes a resistance check, this spell has no effect.
