For the SR version of the spell, see Improved Haste.
Improved Haste
(Alteration)
Level: 6
Range: 40 ft.
Duration: 3 rounds + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None
The affected creature functions at double its normal movement and attack rates and receives a +2 bonus to its initiative. 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. There are three major differences between the 3rd-level wizard spell Haste and this spell: First, there is no period of fatigue following the expiration of the spell; second, this spell will only affect one creature; third, this spell actually doubles the number of attacks per round of the hasted creature. This spell also negates the effects of a Slow spell, but it is not cumulative with itself or with other similar magic. Its effects will last for the duration or until dispelled.
