==Description==
==Gameplay==
This spell is directed at a single creature or self if desired, at touch range with a Necromancy spell casting animation and a brief sound effect, as well as text reading <CASTER>: Casts Slow Poison: <RECIPENT>.
At the conclusion of the spell cast, which is almost immediately achieved, the recipient shows a quick lighting effect on their sprite and the spell's powers are applied.
The spell cures all ongoing Poison effects and the Intoxicated condition immediately - that's all it does.

==Trivia==
The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition priest spell Slow Poison is commonly known by clerics and druids.
When this spell is placed upon a poisoned individual, it greatly slows the effects of venom, if cast upon the victim before the poison takes full effect. (This period, known as the onset time, is known to the DM.) While this spell does not neutralize the venom, it does prevent it from substantially harming the individual for the duration of its magic in the hope that, during that spell period, the poison can be fully cured.
The PnP spell has a duration of 1 hour/priest level. The BG video game spell version implemented this spell differently and opted to just cure the poisoned victim immediately.
