'''Slow Time''' is a Tier 3 [[skill]] from the [[Wizard]]'s [[Arcane skill tree]], creating a bubble where time flows slower for everyone but the Wizard (and other players).

Slow Time is presumably one of the spells the [[Wizard]] learned from the [[Ancient Repositories]] of [[Caldeum]] where she was interrupted by [[Valthek]].
Messing with timespace is something not even the [[Vizjerei]] do any more, and is considered one of the most dangerous forms of [[magic]].
==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.
It's assumed that some [[boss|boss monsters]] (and their projectiles?) will be immune to the slowing effect, but this is not yet known, and is subject to further balancing anyway.
This spell has been used with [[Wave of Force]] to first slow enemy projectiles, and then throwing them back at the enemy.
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' 1 second increased monster attack [[cooldown]].
Only Rank 1 is currently known.
==Synergies==
* None known.
==[[Rune|Skill Rune]] Effects==
* None known.
==Development==
Slow Time was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It was updated only ever so slightly in the demo shown at [[BlizzCon 2009]], where it had moved down one tier in the [[Arcane Skill Tree]], to Tier 4. You can see the most recent version [[Slow Time|here]].
