I still think Bend Time could do with changing somehow though - the fact that it's both resistible and reduces piety gain from beating its targets makes it neither a good panic button nor a stock combat tool, and being range 1 just ices that particular cake.

Actually, Slouch remains decently powerful throughout the game. It clears the entire Vaults:8 welcome party in 3-4 casts, and it absolutely destroys Executioners (and I would assume Orbs of Fire as well, but I've never tried it firsthand). Bend Time actually becomes extremely powerful (read: unresistable) at around the level Step From Time becomes reliable. Plus, range 1 doesn't matter since we're talking about melee fighters.
