Weapon specials are special attack modifiers that make certain attacks more powerful. Once again, in this case, the Shaman has the Slows special on her entangle attack. When this attack is used on an enemy, it will halve the damage they do for one turn. Other weapon specials include First Strike, which allows that attack to always hit first no matter who attacks first, and Magical, which gives that attack a constant 70% chance to hit.
