Timelessness
This spell totally stops the flow of time for a
single individual. All signs of life stop and the
subject is incapable of any movement or thought.
While the spell is in effect, the subject is totally
immovable and cannot be affected by any physical or magical forces. Weapons simply bounce off
the subject as they would bounce off the hardest
stone. Spells, including dispel magic, are totally
incapable of affecting the subject in any way. The
subject does not age.
Aside from the fact that the subject remains
visible. frozen in place like a statue. he is effectively no longer part of the universe. (DMs may
rule that the most powerful of magics, such as
wishes, and creatures of demigod or higher status
can affect the subject.)
When the priest casts the spell, he or she states
the duration for which the spell will remain in effect (the maximum is one full day per level of the
caster). Once the spell is cast, this duration cannot be changed; the priest cannot terminate the
spell before the stated time has elapsed.
If the subject is unwilling to be affected by the
spell, the priest must touch the victim for the spell
to take effect; the subject receives a normal saving throw to resist the effects. A willing subject
need not make a saving throw.
The priest may cast this spell on himself if desired. This spell can provide a powerful defensive
maneuver; while the spell is in effect, the subject
is totally invulnerable. Timelessness is also an effective form of long-term imprisonment, as long
as the priest is around to cast the spell again at the
appropriate time.
This is an exceptionally powerful spell. Casting
it puts a significant strain on the priest. Each time
he casts timelessness, the priest must make a system shock roll. If the priest fails this throw. he or
she permanently loses 1 point of Constitution.
Both material components are crushed during the casting.
