What it does

A slow homing writ (9 tiles/s, range 9) at the foe under the cursor. It shapes only a foe of size S or M whose current health <= 6 x your focus's average roll x (1 + spellPower) (wand L1: 45; staff L32: about 315); anything else is slowed (leaden 2 s). Shaped for 4 s: the foe becomes a snail (S) or a penguin (M) on that creature's sheet, can't attack, moves 1 tile/s and flees; hits on it deal +25 %, and any hit after the first 0.5 s ends it. Never dragons, structures, sentries, townsfolk (npcId), owned creatures, ridden mounts, raid captains or siege engines (shapeable()). A shaped foe can't be netted, can't be shaped again for 10 s, and is restored before any save or chunk unload.
