Wesley's Delayed Damage

A temporal flux field shifts incoming harm into the future. Physical damage is halved now and the other half deferred to the spell's end, when all deferred damage lands at once and can kill - heal the received damage first, then the deferred. A touch-based spell effect such as ENERGY DRAIN or IMPRISONMENT is delayed for half the spell's remaining duration, and preventive action, such as a FREEDOM cast before the imprisonment resolves, negates it. It is incompatible with CONTINGENCY-type spells, which dispel it. Counter (p. 65): any chronomancy spell with a duration cast on the protected target negates it and applies all deferred damage immediately.
