Stop (ストップ, Sutoppu), Stopra (ストプラ, Sutopura), and Stopga (ストプガ, Sutopuga) are a series of magic introduced in Kingdom Hearts. They utilize the power of time. Stop spells inflict the Stop status, which temporarily freezes targets in time.

Mechanics

Kingdom Hearts

In Kingdom Hearts, Stopga causes eight diamonds of energy to form around Sora at the corners of a cube, as well as a circle of Roman numerals depicting the hours of a clock.

In Kingdom Hearts, Stop is advanced magic that can be used by Sora and Donald. It will freeze a target from moving for a short amount of time, as well as nearby foes. The higher-tier Stopra and Stopga have larger areas of effect. A stopped enemy will receive all damage inflicted while stopped once the effect wears off. The duration of the Stop effect, in seconds, is determined by the following equation:

• Time = (Maximum MP) + 2

After the keyhole in Hollow Bastion is revealed, most enemies have an increased resistance to Stop magic.

Genie may cast Stop as part of his Showtime ability.

Stop magic can be used on certain objects in the field, most notably the Clock Tower. Using Stop in this manner is crucial during the battle against the Phantom.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
