Time Stop.
One of the most unnatural spells of the Wizard—a legendary spell that could crush other non-spellcasters. Its magic effect was very simple: it stopped time for a certain range, and then only the caster would be able to move freely at this time. Generally speaking, the duration of this state could last between 15 seconds and 60 seconds. At this time, other people would be in a completely frozen state, while the caster would be free to move. However, during this time, if the caster casts another spell or does physical damage to an enemy; the effects would only come about after Time Stop had finished.
That was why!
The Swamp King was chopped into pieces after Soran had retreated with Vivian.
