Freeze [2]
(Abjuration)

Range:  5 yards per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1d4+1 rounds
Casting Time:  1
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  None

This spell will put one creature in temporal stasis for 1d4+1 rounds. This special temporal stasis cannot be dispelled, but the affected creature cannot be harmed, contacted or influenced for the duration of the spell.
The short, variable duration makes this more of an "escape from the bad guys" spell than an attack spell, but you can always pick up your newly-created statue and do interesting things to him - as long as this is done quickly. This works best if you have cliffs or volcanoes nearby. The material component for this spell, which was researched by Whitewolf, is an hourglass.
