======Speed Modifier======
This is an in-battle stat that can be raised or lowered by speed modifying spells, and is used as a modifier for nearly all timers in the game.

The Speed Modifier starts at 16. It cannot go below 12 or above 32.((If a spell would move it below 12, it is instead set to 12; likewise for going above 32))

^ Spell ^ Effect on Speed Modifier ^
| Fast | -3 |
| Hermes | -8 |
| Slow | +8 |
| SilkWeb | +16 |

=====Applying the Speed Modifier=====
The Speed Modifier is applied to a timer according to the following formula:

  Modified Value = (Original Value * Speed Modifier) / 16

The result is rounded down.

It can be thought of as a fraction over 16 that's used as a multiplier. For example, 16/16 (the default value) multiplies by 1, 32/16 (fully slowed) multiplies by 2, and 12/16 (fully fast) multiplies by 3/4.

=====How the Speed Modifier is used=====
Nearly every [[battle_timers|timer]] in the game has the Speed Modifier applied to it.

====Examples====
    * If a character is fully slowed, their spells will take twice as long to cast.
    * If a character or monster is fully slowed before getting Walled, the Wall will last twice as long.
    * If an RA2 character has a Speed Modifier below 16, they will effectively be RA1.

====Exceptions====
    * Count ignores the Speed Modifier.
    * The second part of Kain's jump (once he is in the air) always takes 4 ticks.
