Trapped in Cryokinetic Stasis?


Rules Questions


I've been looking at some of the water wild talents I can pick up in a level or so, one of which is the cryokinetic stasis.

It seems really cool, but if I sealed myself inside it, could I ever get myself out?
Seems like you definitely should be able to leave it without outside aid but I can't find any definitive answer either way.


Looks like you can't get yourself out of it. It's a pretty niche ability. Seems to be inspired by the first episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Element water; Type utility (Sp); Level 8; Burn 1
You encase yourself or a willing target in an icy sheen, placing the target in a state of suspended animation, as per temporal stasis except fire spells and spell-like abilities of 3rd level or higher count as if the caster used dispel magic against the stasis. Otherwise, no other force or effect can harm the target.

Description
You must succeed on a melee touch attack. You place the subject into a state of suspended animation. For the creature, time ceases to flow, and its condition becomes fixed. The creature does not grow older. Its body functions virtually cease, and no force or effect can harm it. This state persists until the magic is removed (such as by a successful dispel magic spell or a freedom spell).

From what I see, it can be canceled only by an external force.


Ah, I had a bad feeling it was the case, but wanted a second opinion.
Is there any items or spells you could use to get yourself out of it?

Nothing that I know. I suppose you can develop some kind of delayed activation fire spell. When used on yourself it seems to be meant to be opened by a rescuing team, as an emergency cryopod.

Contingency tied to a fire based spell....
