[QUOTE="micromaximum, post: 1644554, member: 9060"] Don't think about the side-affects of spells too much, the more you do the more problems you'll find. Such as: Does the target of a slow spell bleed half as fast? Does poison take twice as long to affect the target. When the target speaks does he sound like a slow-motion recording? Does the target think slower? If you're really moving in slow motion you wouldn't make a very effective combatant. Anything that could move would be able to evade your attacks and your attacks wouldn't be forceful enough to cause any damage. What happens if the slowed target is hit? Does the target react slower? Would it take longer for you to feel any pain? If physics operate differently for the target how would the force of the impact be applied to the target? How about Haste? You could do a lot more damage if you could accelerate your weapon at a faster rate and it'd be next to impossible for anyone to dodge your attacks if you could move 50% to 100% faster than they. You could try to explain slow by saying it's more of a mind-related effect, that it causes the target to take longer to react so they only have time for a single action and spend so much time thinking about where they want to go they only cover half as much ground. However, it's a transmutation effect so that doesn't really make sense. [/QUOTE]
