Summary[]
Time Manipulation (sometimes called Chronokinesis) is the ability to control time itself. Examples include time travel, precognition, slowing down time, speeding up time, stopping time, etc. As time and space are connected, many users can also manipulate space.
Variations[]
- Time Stop: This is the ability to stop time in it's place, stopping all progression for beings caught within it's area of effect. Typically it's used for setting up attacks or even attacking opponents whilst they are immobile for better hits
- Time Reduction: This variation of time control involves slowing down the flow of time for opponents. It works by decreasing the amount of time that is flowing, thus making the opponent much slower than they usually are and allowing for their opponent to strike faster than they can
- Time Acceleration: This variation of time control involves speeding up the flow of time for opponents. This functions by accelerating how much time is flowing for the user or even opponent.
- Time Compression: The ability to compress the flow of time into multiple layers, sometimes even being able to creating a pocket dimension of extremely high density of time
- Time Absorption: The ability to absorb time into oneself, whether it be to speed themselves up or to become time
- Time Theft: The ability to steal time from people, leaving them stuck in time due to having no time influenced upon them or simply slower than before due to less time being influenced upon the opponent
