Trivia

Slow is...
- One of the Mage's abilities in Warcraft II. Its description in the Tides of Darkness game manual reads: "The Mages of Lordaeron have been able to create a spell that hinders both movement and reflex. By warping the very patterns of time that surround his target, Slow enables the caster to bring an enemy's offensive to a crawl. Time cannot be held in check by even the mightiest of Mages, however, so the effects of this temporal shift cease as the power of the spell wanes."
- One of the Sorceress's abilities in Warcraft III. Its description in the Reign of Chaos game manual reads: "The Kirin Tor has developed a technique that envelops a person in a field that reduces kinetic energy. This spell actually pulls the energy directly from the creature trying to move and attack, and channels it into the ground, causing the creature to have reduced attack and movement speeds."
- A rare mage talent in the Trading Card Game. Its flavor text reads: "A...little...help...here?"
