SLOW

Level:     B18
Cost (Sing): 35 Mana (M)
Cost (Play): 25 Mana (initiation), 2 Mana per shaved attack
Prompt:      ♫ SLO ♫ (when played)

A tempo-disrupting song that can be either sung as a lasting hex or played in
combat as a sustained battle harmony to suppress multi-attacking monsters:

  SING 'slow' <target>
    Weaves a lingering hex that steps down a multi-hitting monster's attack
    tier by one rank (4 hits to 3, 3 hits to 2, or 2 hits to 1).

  PLAY 'slow' [<target>]
    Channels a continuous combat harmony that shaves 1 to 3 swings per round
    from 4-hit foes, 1 to 2 from 3-hit foes, and 1 from 2-hit foes (always
    leaving at least one attack).

Usage: sing 'slow' <target>
       play 'slow' [<target>]
       stop slo

Details:
The duration of sung Slow scales with the bard's Charisma. Played Slow
overrides sung Slow while active rather than stacking with it.
