Slow Time
From Diablo Wiki
Slow Time is an Arcane Talent used by Wizards in Diablo III.
Perhaps one of the most fascinating skills seen by the Wizard in her trailer, Slow Time was later elaborated upon on the official Diablo III website. Slow Time creates a bubble around the Wizard, and any opponent or enemy projectile that enters the bubbles slows down. A Wizard can then easily dodge attacks or take advantage of slowed opponents.
In the trailer, a Wizard effectively uses Slow Time in tandem with Wave of Force, slowing a mass of projectiles and then reflecting them back at the users with their directions calculated by the new Havok physics engine. Although the effect looks formidable, but in actuality, it takes great practice to get all incoming projectiles to be reflected towards their origin.
