Zhonya's Hourglass

Zhonya's Hourglass is a powerful magical artifact attributed to the legendary enchantress Zhonya, a mage whose command of time magic was without equal. Her mastery of chronomantic magic allowed her to bend the flow of time itself, and the hourglass was made to hold a fragment of that power in a form that others could carry and use. When it is activated, the artifact channels chronomantic energy to raise a brief pocket of stopped time around whoever holds it. The wielder is caught in golden stasis, frozen in the moment and rendered wholly invulnerable, though at the cost of being unable to act for as long as the effect lasts. It is protection bought with stillness, for nothing can harm the user while the stasis holds, but the user can do nothing in return. Though it grants only a single suspended instant at a time, the hourglass carries the echo of Zhonya's unmatched skill wherever it travels, offering even those who never knew her a taste of temporal power. The artifact remains active, an enduring work of chronomancy in Runeterra.
