# Slow *3rd-level, Transmutation* - **Casting time:** 1 Action - **Range:** 120 feet - **Components:** V, S, M (a drop of molasses) - **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute You alter time around up to six creatures of your choice in a 40-foot [Cube](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/cube-area-of-effect-xphb.md) within range. Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by this spell for the duration. An affected target's [Speed](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/speed-xphb.md) is halved, it takes a -2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't take Reactions. On its turns, it can take either an action or a [Bonus Action](Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/bonus-action-xphb.md), not both, and it can make only one attack if it takes the [Attack](Mechanics/CLI/rules/actions.md#Attack) action. If it casts a spell with a Somatic component, there is a chance the spell fails as a result of the target making the spell's gestures too slowly. An affected target repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the spell on itself on a success. **Classes**: [Bard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-bard.md); [Sorcerer](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-sorcerer.md); [Fighter (Eldritch Knight)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-eldritch-knight-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Wizard](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-wizard.md); [Rogue (Arcane Trickster)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-arcane-trickster-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB"); [Bard (College of Lore)](Mechanics/CLI/lists/list-spells-classes-college-of-lore-xphb.md "subclass=XPHB;class=XPHB") *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 318.
