You briefly stop the flow of time for everyone but yourself. No time passes for other creatures, while you take 1d4 + 1 turns in a row, during which you can use actions and move as normal.
What is the point of the time stop spell?
From the moment Time Stop is cast, until the moment it dissipates, Time Stop will prevent all rival Wizards from taking their turns. In other words, when the turn of Time Stop’s caster ends, they immediately get to take another turn, and another, and another – for a potentially limitless number of consecutive turns!
What level is time stop?

Can you attack in time stop 5e?
Spells, arrows, weapons, objects, and the environment itself are not frozen in time; all of these will be affected by gravity and the passage of time as normal. Specifically, a summoned steel cube will immediately fall and crush anyone underneath it, ending time stop.

It’s an open world game’s pause menu! Time Stop only ends if you affect another creature or object. If planes, trains, and automobiles crash and kill their time-frozen occupants, that’s not your problem, your magical bubble endures.
When does the time stop spell end in RuneScape?
The text of the time stop spell specifically states: This spell ends if one of the actions you use during this period, or any effects that you create during this period, affects a creature other than you or an object being worn or carried by someone other than you. You and your actions are not time-stopped.
What happens when you cast the dispel magic spell?
Dispel magic ends a spell on one target. It doesn’t end the same spell on other targets. So strictly by the Sage Advice, only the creature targeted would be dispelled. In my games though, I rule that the entire parent spell ends.
How does Cloudkill end the time stop spell?
If you attempt to attack him, he casts time stop and then casts cloudkill before leaving the room. Even though cloudkill is a harmful spell and will obviously harm the player characters, this strategy is completely within RAW as indicated by the book.
