===== Skill Description =====

   * //Requires 1 Spirit Sphere//

This skill operates like the [[wiki:knight]]'s [[wiki:auto_counter]], but instead "catches" an attacker, freezing both [[wiki:monk]] and target for a few moments.

Certain skills are available for you to attack with depending on Blade Stop skill level. Both Monk and attacker are stopped until the Monk uses a skill, the Monk dies, the attacker dies, or Blade Stop's duration expires.

Unlike [[wiki:freeze]]/[[wiki:stone]] status the attacker still has all [[wiki:flee]] and [[wiki:def]]. Further, if the target is a [[wiki:monk]] who also has the Blade Stop skill then both are free to use their skills (determined by their own Blade Stop skill level). This skill can not be used to counter enemy skills. Does not work against Boss monsters. Uses up 1 Spirit Sphere.

Skill range is 1 cell for barehanded and 2 cells for armed. Both characters are still able to use items and change equipment.
