Engulfing Darkness

Classic Era (added 1999-2000)

Summons an engulfing darkness that binds your target's feet decreasing their movement rate, and dealing 11 damage per tick for 11 ticks @L22 (1.83 DPS; 2.02 DPM).

This is an excellent general purpose snare, with sufficient efficacy and duration for controlling runners in most contexts. Upgraded versions of this spell do more damage, but additional movement speed reduction is generally unnecessary.
