Temporal Stasis

You send your defeated foe into eternal imprisonment from which it cannot flee or be resurrected.
Level: 17 Component Cost: 5,000 gp
Category: Binding Market Price: 15,000 gp
Time: 10 minutes Key Skill: Arcana
Duration: Permanent

You use this ritual on a helpless creature. Usually it is cast on a defeated but live enemy you do not wish to kill. It imprisons the creature, making it helpless. The subject does not need to breathe, eat, or drink while imprisoned, nor does it age. The creature is turned into an invulnerable statue, either mirror-like or pitch black in appearance. No known force can affect it in this state.

Record the Arcana check for the imprisonment; this is the Arcana difficulty of breaking the effect. Each attempt takes on hour. Even if the attempt fails, a result of 30 or better allows the arcanist to communicate with the imprisoned creature.
