Stop (ストップ Sutoppu), Stopra (ストプラ Sutopura), Stopga (ストプガ Sutopuga), and Stopza (ストップガン Sutoppugan, lit. "Stopgun") are a series of magic introduced in Kingdom Hearts. They utilize the power of time and are associated with the Power material. Stop spells inflict the Stop status, which temporarily freezes targets in time.
Mechanics
Kingdom Hearts
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. Stop magic costs 2 MP to use, and 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
In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, Stop is a magic card that can be used by Sora. It halts enemy movement for a set time period.
The Genie summon card and its associated sleight may cast Stop magic when used.
The Stop card can be used in the following sleights:
