eternal stasis

A beam of ice jets out from you hand and freezes whatever it hits in ice.

A creature brought to zero hit points by this spell survives in an ice statue at 1 hp. the caster can use an action to revert the creature from the ice statue or shatter the statue killing the creature. a creature frozen by this spell is aware of what is going on around them, and because this spell only traps the physical form any way of separating the soul from the body (e.g. astral projection) will still work.
