- Slow Poison
- Duration: 1 hour per level
- Range: The caster or a creature touched
- Poisons affecting the subject are dramatically slowed, giving the caster time to effect a full cure.
- ▶ Poison effects: As long as the subject has more than 1 hit point, the slowed poison inflicts 1hp of damage per turn. If the subject is at 1hp, the poison inflicts no further damage.
- ▶ Characters killed by poison: Can be revived by this spell. Death must have occurred within one turn per level of the caster.
- ▶ Natural poisons: If the subject was poisoned by a natural plant or animal, the caster has a 10% chance per level of knowing a herbal antidote that will fully neutralize the poison. In the wilderness, gathering the herbs for the antidote takes one turn. In a settlement, the herbs may be available for purchase from a herbalist.
- ▶ When the duration ends: The full effects of the poison occur. If the subject was revived from death by this spell, they die once more.

- ▶ Objects of other shapes: (e.g. boards or planks) of roughly equivalent size may also be targeted. Magical objects: That are targeted have a chance of being unaffected:
- ▶ Magic weapons and arms: Have a 10% chance of being unaffected per magical “plus”. (e.g. a magical spear +2 has a 20% chance of being unaffected by warp wood.)
- ▶ Wielding: If the magical object is in the hands of a creature, the creature may also save versus spells to prevent the object being warped.
