Template:Sideicon Stop can be inflicted via the use of certain dressphere abilities, such as Thief's Borrowed Time or Songstress's Brake-dance.

Template:Sideicon
The character is frozen in time and cannot move or act. Remove with a Chronos Tear.
Stop is available to purchase at Mt Bur-Omisace and requires the Time Magick license 6, which costs 45 LP. The spell itself costs 3,700 gil and uses 20 MP to cast. It should be noted that while stopped, other status effects are also halted.
For example, Sap will stop draining HP for the duration of Stop. This fact can be abused by casting Reverse followed by Stop on a character, thus allowing the character to absorb all forms of damage until Stop wears off. This is especially useful for bosses which always target the nearest character, as equipping the other party members with ranged weapons will keep them alive while the Reversed character is taking all the hits.
In the Zodiac versions, Stop is Time Magick License 5 that can only be used by the Time Battlemage job class. It can be bought from the merchant at the Nam-Yensa Sandsea for 900 gil.
