'''Slow Time''' is a Defensive [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 16, creating a bubble where time flows slower for all enemies and their projectiles.

==Skill Design==

Slow Time creates a bubble that surrounds the [[Wizard]]. Any enemies or enemy projectiles that enter the bubble are greatly slowed. The Wizard, her spell projectiles, and her allies are not affected by the slow time bubble, giving them a huge advantage over the greatly slowed enemies. The bubble remains where it was cast, persisting for several seconds, but the Wizard can move as soon as the spell is cast, though if she moves outside the bubble monsters may again target her without their shots or attacks being slowed.
This spell has been used with [[Wave of Force]] to first slow enemy projectiles, and then throwing them back at the enemy.

==Synergies==
Slow Time benefits from the following [[Wizard passives]]:{{Passive skills header}}{{Wizard Passive Critical Mass}}{{Wizard Passive Evocation}}None added yet.
<blockquote>''One of the most useful skills in the Arena. Not just for the Wizard, but for the whole team. A Wizard who managed to cast one of these out in the center of the arena, where most of the early round action took place, gave her team a huge advantage. Enemy Barbs were nearly frozen in it, Mongrels were basically stuck there for the duration of the spell, and even other casters hated to be inconvenienced. It wasn’t as much on defense, since there weren’t many projectiles flying in the demo, but it was great to block movement.</blockquote>
===Beta===Skill tiers were removed for shortly before the [[July 2011 Press Eventbeta]]started in September 2011, and Slow Time became a level 16 skill. When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Slow Time was classified as a Defensive skill (but stayed at level 16).
