The Hourglass can be a useful Item, potentially Paralyzing all of your foes with Stop. It has a 50/50 shot of breaking on any given use, so don't expect to use one over and over. Paralysis is useful, but not as nasty as it is when Monsters use it, since it only negates their already feeble evasion.
