 //Beyond the veil of the mundane hide the secrets of absolute power. The works of beings beyond mortals, the legends of realms where gods and spirits tread, the lore of creations both wondrous and terrible - such mysteries call to those with the ambition and the intellect to rise above the common folk to grasp true might. Such is the Path of Wizardry. These shrewd magic-users seek, collect, and covet esoteric knowledge, drawing on cultic arts to work wonders beyond the abilities of mere mortals. Those who study the schools of magic prove a cunning and potent lot, capable of smiting their foes, empowering their allies, and shaping the world to their every desire.// //Beyond the veil of the mundane hide the secrets of absolute power.

 As an Immediate Action, you may place a foot into the First World to protect yourself from danger. For a number of minutes equal to your Caster Level, you receive concealment from all creatures (20% miss chance). This concealment is only partially illusory - it is mostly a very real effect from transcending planes. Due to this, this concealment is only negated for another creature who is also using this ability. You may use this concealment to use the Stealth skill. At Caster Level 12, this increases to a 50% miss chance. You may activate this Talent once per day. As an Immediate Action, you may place a foot into the First World to protect yourself from danger.

 You may create a duplicate of yourself through a complex magical ritual which takes 24 hours. The duplicate possesses your ability scores, but is “level one”, meaning that it possesses the minimum amount of HD, caster levels, skill ranks, and Paths or Talents possible. You may spend EXP to increase the stats of your simulacrum, just as if you were leveling yourself, up to a maximum of half your Caster Level in any given field (for example, if you posses 14 Caster Levels, your Simulacrum may only have up to 7 skill ranks in any particular skill, 7 hit dice, and a maximum caster level of 7). The Simulacrum is fully and solely under your control, and will obey simple commands without additional input. Although it is categorized as the same creature type as yourself, the Simulacrum is most closely comparable to a Homunculus.  You may create a duplicate of yourself through a complex magical ritual which takes 24 hours.

 As an immediate action, you may spend 30 Mana to cause time to cease its flow for everyone but you. A bubble of temporal distortion emanates from you as a shockwave effect in a 30 ft. radius around you. All creatures within the radius of the effect must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + your caster level + your Primary Casting Attribute modifier) or be frozen in time for a number of rounds equal to your Secondary Casting Attribute modifier. Creatures frozen in the Time Stop are considered helpless. Creatures that enter the area of frozen time afterwards receive no saving throw.

If the creature cannot move out of the area, they are trapped, and automatically fail the saving throw. As an immediate action, you may spend 30 Mana to cause time to cease its flow for everyone but you.

 +  * **Requirements:** Craft (Scribe) 3, 10 EXP
 +
 +You may create a Scroll of any spell which you know. See the [[equipment:magic_items|Magic Items]] page for more information about Scrolls.
 +
 +If you do not know the spell, you may still create a scroll of it if you are sufficiently skilled. Select the higher of your [[priority:prowess|BaB]] or [[priority:magic|CL]], and use it as your CL to determine what Spells you may access. To create a scroll without knowing the spell, you must first research the Formula. This takes 10 hours per Spell Tier of the desired spell. Once done, you may make scrolls of that spell without further research impediments. 
 +
 +All scroll formulae must be stored in a [[equipment:tools_and_kits#formula_book|Formula Book]]. Creating the Formula itself has no TU cost, it is solely a time expenditure.
