Stasis

Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Formicids are bound to the earth, so are the only source of the stasis intrinsic. Stasis provides near-immunity from a wide variety of time and space altering effects, whether you want them to occur or not:

• Teleportation
• Blinking
• Haste, Slow, Swiftness
• Paralysis
• Berserk
• Level shifts in the Abyss

Stasis will not block any of the following:

• Effects that warp space around you: Lugonu's Bend Space, Passage of Golubria
• "Paralysis" inflicted by the onset of stat zero
• Teleporter pads (not to be confused with teleport traps)
• Banishment
• Petrify, Sleep

History

• Prior to 0.25, stasis did not block Swiftness.
• In 0.18, the amulet of stasis was removed, the primary and only way for most characters to get this intrinsic.
• Prior to 0.18, stasis blocked Okawaru's Finesse.
