What it does

Lay the slowest court dance on the ground: a 3-tile-radius ring within 8 tiles, for 5 s. Foes inside (isFoe: creatures, bandits, hostile NPCs; never heroes, townsfolk, owned or ally creatures) get Lull 0.45: their clock runs at 55% (status lull feeds slowMul, and creature AI already scales its whole step by slowMul: walking, windups, recoveries). Refreshed while inside, kept 0.5 s after leaving. Foe projectiles crossing the ring fly at 50% speed. Dragons get Lull 0.25 under their own 0.4 floor. Lull never stacks into freeze and the strongest Lull wins. One Pavane per caster.
