Oh Hell No! transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 8 Components: V Casting Time: 1 immediate action Range: personal Area: you Duration: 1 round (apparent time); see text Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: no
in a brief moment, you realize a spell is aimed at you, or a swordsman draws dangerously close to you, so you utter the magic words "Oh Hell No!" and time freezes for just long enough for you to get out of the way. Upon casting the spell, time seems to freeze for all creatures but you, although you are in fact just moving that much faster than them. You are free to act for 1 round of apparent time. you can still be injured during the spells duration, but no one but you may take actions during it. all creatures are considered immune to damage for the duration of this spell, and you cannot target other creatures with any attack or spell.
when the spells duration has ended, any spell or attack that was targeting you misses, and an area affect spell you were in the area of only affects you if you are still in it.
You cannot move or harm items held, carried, or worn by a creature stuck in normal time, but you can affect any item that is not in another creature’s possession.
You are undetectable while the spell lasts. You cannot enter an area protected by an antimagic field while under the effect of this spell.
Immediate action time stop? What was wrong with contingencies? :P

its also only verbal, so it can be used to escape even a grapple.
Generally, by 17th level, it can be reasonably expected that a spellcaster would have contingent spells up for situations such as "grappled" or "below X hp" or other common Bad Things To Have Happen. This is still a neat little spell, though.
Also, copypasta error in the last sentence, you reference Time Stop. This isn't time stop.
I'd consider bumping this down a level, perhaps. I'm no expert on spells, but I feel like there's a lot that this lacks to be a true 9th level spell. I'm looking at competition like True Resurrection, Miracle, Gate, Foresight, Shapechange, Dominate Monster, Time Stop and other non-SRD spells, and this seems to come up a little short.
Also..m am I the only one who reads this in Will Smith's voice?

i suppose you're right, do you think 7 or 8 would be better, or if it is lower by a lot?

It's a get out of jail free card, and the wizard has plenty of those, but this one is particularly all purpose. I'd say 8, if only because one round is quite a long time, and could be used to cast time stop or something for even more rounds of buffing. That and wizards shouldn't be stopping time earlier than 15th level.
Oh, you also seem to be missing a school, I'd suggest Transmutation like Time Stop.
If you're ever in a situation where you can't survive, go for the broke and fill all of creation with chickens. Just imagine the reaction of people halfway around the world when every square inch of space in their world is suddenly and completely full of chickens.

I prefer Chi McBride's, myself.
"What's that? I'm supposed to be on-topic and helpful if I'm posting in these threads? Wow, OK."
*ahem*
I like the auto-miss feature, and I second that it should be 8th level. Also, as was previously mentioned, it's nice that it's only a verbal component - useful for the grappled wizard with few other options (unless he prepared stilled spells today).
