Stop (ストップ Sutoppu), Stopra (ストプラ Sutopura), and Stopga (ストプガ Sutopuga) magic are spells used by Sora, Donald, and other characters and enemies that utilize the element of Time.
Along with Gravity and Aero, Stop and its more powerful forms were absent from Kingdom Hearts II, having been replaced by Magnet and Reflect.
Uses
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Much like the spell in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Stop makes an appearance in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
Stop will give enemies the Stop Status Effect. Enemies inflicted by Stop will not move or attack for a short amount of time.
Kingdom Hearts
By using Stop, Sora can prevent a target from moving for a limited amount of time. As the rank of Stop increases to Stopra and then Stopga, its range and duration increase. The duration of Stop, Stopra, and Stopga can be determined by taking Sora's Max MP and adding 2 to it. When a frozen enemy is attacked, no damage is dealt at first, but the accumulated damage is dealt when Stop wears off.
After the keyhole in Hollow Bastion is revealed, the efficiency of Stop against a foe is reduced to 60% of what it once was for many enemies.
Characters who cast Stop magic in Kingdom Hearts:
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
The Stop Card can be used for many Sleights in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, all of which involve time-manipulation or paralysis. In Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, certain objects in rooms have Stop-based properties, causing all enemies in range to receive the Stopped status effect, halting their movement both in and out of battle for a time.
