Casting FAST on a creature with the effect of SLOW or SLO2 will restore that creature's number of attacks per round to its normal value, and vice-versa.

FAST is arguably the best Spell in the game, as it doubles the melee damage of any character for the rest of the fight. Unlike most buffs, it doesn't stack with itself, but it doesn't have to. FAST doubles as the best Spell a NINJA can cast (and having two FAST casters in the party can be more useful than you might think). Do not pass up this Spell. It is your casters' primary weapon against bosses, especially since TMPR and SABR don't work in this version of the game.

Each success of the Haste Spell grants the target an extra attack. Haste Spells do not stack. If a second Haste Spell is cast on a target, the more powerful of the two effects will take precedence. If a target has been Slowed, Haste will negate the Slow entirely and have its full effect (as if Slow was never cast).

Like Berserk, Haste is a great buff that you can't actually buy until the end of the game. Also like Berserk, it's worth hunting down earlier. The Sorcerers that drop it are a real pain, though. Still, Haste's ability to augment your fighter's attacks should not be underestimated.

Haste increases the target's Attack Power based on the Power of the Spell, and increases the target's Attack Multiplier based on the Multiplier and Accuracy of the Spell. In addition, changing the items in a character's hands (even shields) will negate the effects of Haste.

Haste causes a Character to act almost 1/3 more often. This is always a nice effect to have, though it won't make up for using the action to cast Haste in the first place if it's a very short battle.
