Ashraf moves quickly, with an eye for the long-practiced obstruction of enemies. He charts Martin's progress overhead, doing no more than wincing at the fall of dust, and as soon as the boy hits the ground, casts his spell at Martin.

The reverse of the spell of agility he'd just cast on the small group, this one will slow Martin's movements and dull his reflexes. There's no physical harm done, just a sense of lethargy.
