Jun 22, 2024 at 1:16 comment added Amethyst Wizard Range self is not target self. Self is point of origin. If it were target self, this would be a haste spell, it’s not, it’s a time stop spell. It stops time, the target is everyone because that’s how you stop time.
Apr 6, 2020 at 21:36 comment added Sam @gto That is very apropos, thanks for bringing it up. I don't think it has a big effect on my argument, but it is interesting to look at. I added a brief discussion of the Graviturgical spells, and rewrote my answer to flow better. In particular, I expanded on what I'm reading into WotC's motivations, and I cleaned up the second half of the answer. I would've summarized Chronoturgy, but it felt like I was getting off track.

Moved bits around, improved spelling and formatting, expanded on things I glossed over. Tried to make meaning clearer. Added Graviturgy section.
Apr 5, 2020 at 12:32 comment added gto @Sam the recently-released "Explorer's Guide to Wildemount" introduces new types of magic having to do with time (chronurgy) and gravity (graviturgy). Perhaps these would provide some fresh insight?
Apr 5, 2020 at 7:47 comment added Sam @gto What I was getting at is the difference between "Stop Gravity" and "Suppress Gravity". I imagine suppressing would create a force that is opposite to gravity, and stopping would remove gravity . Eg, particles no longer exert gravitational pull in the whole universe. If Earth doesn't exert a pull, even a few particles that do inside an antimagic field don't make a difference. Similarly, if I say time ticks every time the pendulum of a god's clock swings back and forth, and I hold the pendulum back, an antimagic field won't apply. Maybe that's how Time Stop works.
Mar 28, 2020 at 12:36 comment added gto You ask, "Would Stop Gravity affect the inside of an area of Antimagic Field? What about Suppress Gravity?" Well, there is a spell called Reverse Gravity. I would expect its effect not to be felt in an antimagic field.
Mar 26, 2020 at 20:36 comment added Mark Wells Higher-level spells don't take precedence over antimagic field just by being higher-level. The exception for magic from artifacts and gods is, well, for artifacts and gods. (I mean, I think you're wrong about all of this, but this sticks out as the weakest part of your argument.)
