Haste

When this spell is cast, each affected creature functions at double its normal movement and attack rates. A hasted creature gains a -2 initiative bonus. Thus, a creature moving at 6 and attacking once per round would move at 12 and attack twice per round. Spellcasting and spell effects are not sped up. The number of creatures that can be affected is equal to the caster's experience level; those creatures closest to the center of effect are affected first. All affected by haste must be in the designated area of effect.
Note that this spell negates the effects of a Slow spell.
Additionally, this spell ages the recipient by one year, because of sped-up metabolic processes.
This spell is not cumulative with itself or with other similar magic.
