Origin[]
Professor August Musger (1868 - 1929) was an Austrian priest and physicist who invented Slow Motion. The method was patented and he used a movie projector to show what he was doing.
The event that created the artifact was when a local teen was stealing from the offering box of Musger's church. Upon leaving his office he caught the thief breaking open the box and rushed to stop him but the teen pushed Musger who fell into the table that held the projector for service. When it landed it turned on and the light covered the teen. When Musger stood up he was amazed to see that the boy hadn't left yet, however he appeared to be moving in slow motion. The boy was arrested, while Musger took the projector into his office and prayed for advice. It's unknown how Musger was able to neutralize it.
Effects[]
When turned on anyone caught in the light of the projector moves in slow motion. From their vantage point, time appears to move faster and they have no understanding how hours passed when events flew by in minutes.
