Temporal Stasis
Temporal Stasis
Ritual Rank 9
Prerequisites: Eldritch Rank 8
Potency: 45
Focus: A sapphire emblazoned with Arcane Runes [Rare, Value: 1,000 gp]
Cost: 4 Resolve Burn
Cast Time: 1 hour
Duration: Until dismissed, dispelled, or disrupted
Range: Touch
Target: Willing creature touched
Effect: You spend an hour in deep concentration, chanting over the gem and activating each of the runes one by one. As you utter the final incantation, the gem placed at the target's feet begins to glow with a bright, ethereal light. The target becomes surrounded by a shimmering wall of force and is placed in a state of Suspended Animation. For the creature, time ceases to flow and its condition becomes fixed. The creature does not grow older. Its body functions virtually cease, and no force or effect can harm it.
The Wall of Force surrounding the target is immune to damage, though it may be dispelled or destroyed through abilities that can target force effects (such as the Disintegrate spell). If the wall of force is destroyed, this ritual immediately ends.
