# You slow down
The message "You slow down" happens in the following cases:

Zapped by a wand of slow monster
Cast a spell of slow monster at yourself
Targeted by the slowing attack of a shade or skeleton
All of these remove intrinsic speed and temporary extrinsic speed. Permanent extrinsic speed from speed boots is unaffected.
Similar messages include You are slowing down (an early stage of petrification), and You feel yourself slowing down (loss of extrinsic or time-out speed).
