Improved Haste (Alteration)
Level: Bard 6, Mage 6, Sorcerer 6, Tempus 6
Range: self
Duration: 2 hours
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 40-foot cube
Saving Throw: none

All affected creatures falling into a 40" by 40" cube function at double their normal movement and attack rates. Hasted creatures gain a -2 initiative bonus. Thus, creatures moving at 6 and attacking once per round would move at 12 and attack twice per round. Spell-casting and spell effects are not sped up. There are two major differences between the third level wizard spell haste and this spell. The first major difference is that there is no period of fatigue following the expiration of the spell. Finally, this haste spell actually doubles the number of attacks for the affected creatures. Note that this spell negates the effects of a slow spell. This spell is not cumulative with itself or with other similar magic.
