Time Stop

Many consider this spell -also known as Negate Time- as cheating, but this doesn't reduce its usefulness. Casting time stop makes everyone stop in their tracks for several moments. Enough to either flee the battle site, or the kill the enemies that are now unable to defend themselves against the caster and party. Only the very high requirements prevent this spell from being used too often.

In earlier ages, the effects of this spell were duplicated by various magical articles.
