Delay Spell

You attempt to delay a creature in the process of casting a spell by freezing time around the magic being cast. When the creature is casting the spell, roll a d20. The spell is delayed a number of seconds equal to the rolled amount. If the spell targets another creature or effects an area away from the caster but whose effects do not originate from the castor, the spell only takes effect if the intended target or area is still within range after the delay is over. Any spell whose effect originates from the castor will still take affect, going out in whatever direction the caster is facing when the delay ends. If the spell originates from a specific point on the castor (i.e., they're finger, hands, eye, etc.) the spell goes in the direction that part of the castor is pointing when the delay ends.

A caster who is delayed does not know for how long the spell is delayed.
