Temporal Shackles

RareTransmutation, Arcane

Warp the flow of time around your enemies, causing their movements and reactions to slow to a crawl.

When its last active effect on you ends, the log shows “Ended Temporal Shackles”. Expiration, dispelling and actions that break the effect all count; refreshing it does not.

Cast by a Mage, the class that can take Transmutation furthest. Its casting attribute (Intelligence) was 4 at first and 10 at its best. The minimum respects the level’s proficiency budget; other attribute allocations and equipment can change when you can afford it.

Cast in a test arena at its best: spent 80 mana; target gains Action Speed -45% for 10 turns, Movement Speed -45% for 10 turns.

Effect strengths describe potential output. Projectile and area contacts are not simulated, and abilities that need a chest, trap or another special target still require that situation in play.
