Faze means ‘to disconcert or disturb’ and is used informally in mainly negative contexts: the prospect of going on stage for forty minutes does not seem to have fazed her. In origin it is a 19th century American English variant of the ancient verb feeze ‘to drive off, to frighten away’ and has nothing to do with the ordinary verb phase. The spelling phase is now quite common, but it should be avoided in writing.
