- Big change to a certain spell (here's where I earn hate mail from mages!)

Time Stop
This spell can no longer be cast from scrolls or items. Upon casting, all frozen targets are immune to damage or effects or any kind, rendering them untouchable until time starts once more.

Time Stop has a cool down of ten rounds between each casting.

Although I don't see the reason behind the 10 rds. cooldown.. the use is limited to mainly buffing and such and mages only have a limited amount of level 9 spells. I might as well ask why this is?

Thumbs up!

Of course. You're informed when the cool down is over, mind you.

As before. They damage right away when casting. I can't see why every other spell would change due to Time Stop changes.

Upon casting, all frozen targets are immune to damage or effects or any kind, rendering them untouchable until time starts once more.

+1 to the hope it doesn't become that! Personally, I'm trying to understand how that silly spell works.

I got it now. Basically don't case offensive spells (ie fireball, Hellball, mord's, etc)
It's all about the casting/buffing now

I hope that's playful sarcasm

I don't ever use it.

But I totally understand the nerf. Good one.

This spell seems to make time cease to flow for everyone but you. In fact, you speed up so greatly that all other creatures seem frozen, though they are actually still moving at their normal speeds. You are free to act for 1d4+1 rounds of apparent time. Normal and magical fire, cold, gas, and the like can still harm you. While the time stop is in effect, other creatures are invulnerable to your attacks and spells; you cannot target such creatures with any attack or spell. A spell that affects an area and has a duration longer than the remaining duration of the time stop have their normal effects on other creatures once the time stop ends. Most spellcasters use the additional time to improve their defenses, summon allies, or flee from combat.

You cannot move or harm items held, carried, or worn by a creature stuck in normal time, but you can affect any item that is not in another creature’s possession.

You are undetectable while time stop lasts. You cannot enter an area protected by an antimagic field while under the effect of time stop.

With the cooldown? Probably not. But it still breaks the lore of the spell to be offensive, and since you said you didn't mind the lore, seems we got no problems after all.

At least anything to do with Time has an easy explanation on Amia...

Im rather pleased to see a CD added, though the lack of damage during the stop is a shame, at least now it will function much akin to GS,
