Hmm. Is there a way I can decrease the time a unit remains "frozen" from the stasis spell?

Yes, by EXE hacking.

I thought spells could be tinkered with via iscript? And IIRC stasis field has a bug in which if you have a disable invincibility trigger apply to a stasised unit, it becomes attackable and I think you can cast spells on it...

Not quite. You can transform spells into weapons, but nothing more... at most you can call a weapon with an effect that simulates a different spell.
But you can't say make it cloak only ground units, not air, reduce maelstrom time, increase lockdown time or anything of that sort...
You can only change Scanner Sweep and Nuke times from IScript, but that is cause of the unit handling.

The spell time EXE edits should be feasible with FireGraft, as I recall this being done via CASM back in the days of v1.07.

Where was CASM used ? You know what I mean...

Well, certain offsets were known for 1.07 (in a document at CC that is no longer available, but I still have it) and writing a CASM function for them was a piece of cake.

in a way rewriting the cod with your own changes ?

Not quite - more like writing your own code and then making the engine execute it when you wanted it.

No problem. I can send you the article, if you want, but it's rather obsolete as of now.
ADDITION:
Now that I think of it, your question can be two fold:
1-You want to change the time units stay under stasis in general
2-You want to change the time a particular unit is to stay under stasis after being hit with the Stasis Field spell.
These 2 are different things and need different EXE hacks.

Yeah. Just remember that it will still be stuck there. As I remember, Blizzard originally intended for stasis to be curable by medics, but due to the way the game handles spells, it would then be targetable by other spells and weapons...
