Stay the Falling Sand

You may activate this power outside your normal initiative. Once activated, the alchemist gains limited control over the passage of time within five steps of them. You may choose one of the following effects without expending an action. Once one of the effects has been used, the effect of this formula ends. • Ranged Attack Defense: You may automatically succeed in one test to defend against a single incoming ranged attack. The projectile freezes and falls to the floor harmlessly a few feet from the alchemist. • Pause an Explosion: You may pause an explosion originating or traveling within five steps of you for up to 3 turns. • Defy Gravity: You may freeze a falling object no larger than a refrigerator within five steps of you in place for up to 3 turns.
