Delayed Inevitability

You escape from an inevitability, postponing it for later. When you are the target of any spell, attack, or similar effect, you can freeze it in time, provided you know of the origin of the effect. The frozen effect takes place immediately after this spell ends. If you cast a spell of 4th level or higher while concentrating on this spell, you lose your concentration.

You only freeze the effect that affects you, but not any effect that occurs on other creatures. For example, you can delay your own damage from a fireball, but the fireball still affects the others within range as normal.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the spell can be cast on an ally you can see within 30 ft.
