    Does this sword work as advertised? I've been experimenting a little with Mazzy lately, and from the sword's description, I'd expect it to give the same sort of message that the FoA does, but I have never seen a "XXX slow" message when she hits, nor noticed any slow effect on an enemy.

    It differs slightly--Flail of Ages is a bona fide slow effect, including the reduced attacks per round. Mazzy's sword is simply a decrease in the target's movement rate; i.e. you can outrun them but they'll retain the same number of attacks. It works but does not provide the nice display feedback like FoA.
