Crystal stasis

Primary action, Provokes. Single touched creature or object. Permanent until broken. Target becomes encased in a thin veneer, typically crystal but it could be rock or even another substance like ice. The target is incapacitated, and no longer needs to breath or eat, and ages at a greatly reduced rate. Any damage to the exterior breaks the stasis and frees the subject. Often this spell is used to capture, or place creatures as guardians. If used as part of a ritual you can also put directed spells in stasis with a successful AGL check, creating firebolt gems and the like. You may have half your level in stasis subjects.
