- Main article: Dragon Shouts
Slow Time is a Dragon Shout in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that makes the player able to slow down time for a short period of time.

Description
Edit
When activated, the Slow Time Shout slows down time significantly for a short amount of time. Although the Dragonborn is also affected by the time-slowing effects, they are able to move much faster while the Shout is active than their enemies, allowing them to attack enemies with less danger of getting hit back.
This is particularly useful against enemies that are normally too powerful to afford getting hit by, like Dragons, Dragon Priests, and Dwarven Centurions. It is also useful for mages using spells which require charging.
Uses
Edit
- This Shout is useful in conjunction with Fortify Enchantment or Fortify Smithing potions, because their effect, which normally lasts for 30 seconds, can be slowed to last to around a minute.
- This shout may be particularly advantageous to archers and mages, as it can allow for several shots to be fired before a melee enemy can reach striking range, minimizing the risk while reloading or charging spells, and slowing targets to allow for greater accuracy over distances.
Trivia
Edit
- Despite the fact that time slows, damage per second effects, such as those used by the Flames spell or a dragon's breath attack, do not slow with it, making these attacks much more deadly.
- While under the effect of the shout, the perk Steady Hand will have no effect.

Bugs
Edit
- PC 360 PS3 After learning the first word, the second and third word walls may not activate, making it impossible to learn the full shout. This can be solved on PC using the console command "player.teachword X" where X represents the ID of the shout to be learned.
- PC Using the shout in some locations can cause it to last for an extended duration. When in Drelas' Cottage it can last until the player rests.
- Trying to ride a horse while time is slowed can cause the player to lose control of the character, which stops moving but slides to the right (unconfirmed).
