(The spells’ durations do not begin until the time stop is over.)"That seems pretty clear to me: you can cast a spell and have it take effect within the time stop (and hence be useless, except to affect yourself), or have it leave the time stop (and hence be frozen until the time stop expires).  The text doesn't (but could) distinguish instantaneous spells, so I don't see why they should be treated any different.About the disagreements: Perhaps a restatement can diffuse this.  A simple 'As written, time stop does seem to allow X, but that seems overpowered to me, so I don't allow timestop to used like that.'  Otherwise, the discussion is all about the proper interpretation of the SRD text, which would require a lot more definitions and linguisitics and so forth.</blockquote>
