Notes

• WARNING: Do not have a character cast a second Concentration spell while they are concentrating on Haste. The Haste effect will end early, the character will still be affected by  Lethargic, and the second Concentration spell will misfire; the effect will not happen but you will still spend the spell slot.
• There is a special version of Haste called Celestial Haste that is granted by Gontr Mael. It doesn't make you  Lethargic, but only lasts for 5 turns instead of 10. Recharge: Long rest
• While the description of Haste states that it doubles the target's movement speed, it actually only adds 9 m / 30 ft to their total.
• The granted extra Action is significantly stronger than the one granted by the tabletop version of the spell. That action can instead only be used to take the Dash, Disengage, or Use an Object actions, or to take a special version Attack action that can only be used for one weapon attack.
• The incantation for Haste is Provolo, Latin for "fly forth" or "rush out".
