Temporal Freedom

This spell provides protection against any spell creating a stasis effect that would affect the protected creature. Examples of such spells include Phezult's sleep of ages, temporal stasis, and time stop. For example, a being within the confines of a time stop and protected by temporal freedom remains free to hear, see, and act; but could pretend to be frozen until the caster of the time stop drew near, turned away, or left himself open to attack. After providing its protection against one such a spell, however, the spell ends.

The temporal freedom spell also confers immunity to aging attacks upon the protected creature, such as those of a ghost. It does not prevent aging side effects, such as those caused by a gate spell or a potion of speed. This protection lasts as long as the spell, to a maximum duration of one day.

The material component is a pinch of bone dust. The caster ages 6 months immediately upon casting the spell.

Notes: Very rare spell. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
