Transmuters get slow at level 23, hold person at 37. Maybe if you only allowed them to start "stacking" slow spells at level 37, and only arcane mages could stack more than two or three of them.

> Basically remove hold person, and make slow take it's place.

> Make it so that when you're slowed you not only tank worse and have -dex, but you also get prompts slower. And then make slow stackable, so if you're hit with 4-5 slows you're in effect held.

> This way hold/halt isn't such a cheesy one-shot attack, and slowed mages will have a tradeoff for the other benefits of slow.
