Slow (Final Fantasy V)

Slow is a Time Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It inflicts the slow effect on one target, which halves the rate their Active Time Battle bar increases, effectively halving their turn rate from the baseline.
Slow is also an enemy ability that can be cast by Chrono Controller, Omniscient, Ricard Mage, and Atomos.
==Obtained==
Slow can be purchased for 80 gil from Walse, Karnak, or Istory. Walse is the earliest the spell can be purchased.
==Mechanics==
:Spell Hit\% = 95 + Attacker Level - Target Level
:Evade\% = Target Magic Evade\%
If the target has shell, the Spell Hit% is also halved, and if the target is a toad, its Evade % is reduced to 0.
The game generates two random numbers between 0 and 99.
:If N1 >= Hit%, the spell misses
:If N2 < Evade%, the spell misses
Slow is affected by reflect.
Slow and haste are mutually exclusive and cannot coexist on the same unit.
==Use==
Slow is an inexpensive debuff that can be cast on an enemy to reduce their turn rate. Though its effect is less crippling than spells like Sleep, Stop, or Toad, it can still greatly hinder an enemy's ability to harm the player. In battles where one enemy uses frequent attacks, wherein the player wishes to slow their attacks to allow time for healing, casting Slow can be useful. The main downside to the spell is many enemies and bosses are immune to the effect entirely.
Another use for Slow is to cancel an enemy's haste status.
