Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

This scroll is inscribed on a shimmering piece of parchment that seems to ripple like water. The writing appears in a mix of deep blue and silver ink, intertwined with shimmering symbols that resonate with the flow of time. When unrolled, a faint glow surrounds it, and the air feels charged with an electric energy.

Time Stop When you cast this scroll, you take an extra turn in the order of initiative, during which time appears to be frozen for everyone but you. You can move and take actions normally as if time were flowing normally, but others cannot react to or perceive your actions. After your extra turn, time resumes and all creatures return to their original positions, with all effects of spells or abilities they used to react nullified.

Temporal Echoes The scroll allows you to manipulate time itself. You may expend an additional charge (3 charges total) to create an echo of your past self that can replay any single action you took in the last round while the Time Stop effect was active. This echo can replicate the use of a spell of 5th level or lower.

Lore

Legends claim that this scroll was penned by a legendary chronomancer who mastered the flow of time itself. It is said that he used this very scroll to turn the tide in numerous legendary battles, disappearing from sight and reappearing when fate had shifted in his favor, leaving his enemies bewildered and agitated.

History

The scroll was lost during the Great Spell Plague and was thought to be forever gone until recent rumors surfaced of it being found within a hidden temple dedicated to the forgotten arts of chronomancy. Many adventurers have sought it, but none have returned from the temple alive, leading to speculation of undead guardians that protect the scroll.
