Effect: Upon casting
a time stop spell, the magic-user causes the flow of time
to stop in the area of effect,
and outside this area --
the sphere simply seems to shimmer for an instant.
During the period of spell
duration, the M-U can move and act freely within
the area where time is stopped,
but all other creatures
there are frozen in their actions, for they are literally between ticks
of the time clock,
and the spell duration is
subjective to the caster.
No creature can enter the
area of effect without being stopped in time also, and if the magic-user
leaves it,
he or she immediately negates
the spell. When spell duration ceases, the magic-user will again be operating
in normal time.
DMG: Use a stop watch
or silent count to time this.
The caster must be able
to complete his or her acts before spell duration expires,
or else he or she will likely
be found in an embarrassing act.
The use of a teleport spell
just before the spell duration of the time stop expires is permissible.
Wu Jen: Using this
spell, the wu jen can stop all time within the area of effect, leaving
the wu jen able to move and act freely within that area.
Any creatures entering the
area are also caught by the time stop, and if the wu jen leaves the area
the time stop is negated.
