Improved Slow
This could fill the eventual last free slot if we remove Stone to Flesh. Unlike Improved Haste this still is a "mass" spell, which is a good thing because else it would have to compete with both Disinterate and Flesh to Stone! There's little to say here, this would pretty much be a slow spell, but with a heavier save penalty (-6 in PnP) causing targets to move even slower (at a ninth of their normal rate - which means movement rate 1 in general, thus the minimum possible), and suffer even worse penalties (-8 penalty to AC and thac0 within PnP).

Huh? I thought it was the other way around, that it's symmetric with Mass Hate?

 

Mass Hate

LOL. :D

Stone to Flesh / Flesh to Stone and Improved Slow

I don't like that Improved Slow (if it is introduced) is going to be a 'mass' spell. It breaks symmetry and breaks it badly IMHO.

Stone to Flesh / Flesh to Stone should be combined into a single spell if possible.

Btw, does anyone know if it is possible to tweak petrification (which sets stoned_death state or whatever) in a way so it doesn't also set HP to 1?
