Powers

The following are powers in the Time Manipulation powerset.

Chrono Shift

You cause nearby allies to act more quickly by allowing them to slip through the time stream seamlessly. While this power is active, the flow of time will constantly undo a portion of your allies' wounds causing them to periodically recover health. An ally affected by Temporal Selection will recover additional health from Chrono Shift.

Distortion Field

You can choose an area to slow the flow of time down to a crawl. Enemies who enter the field will have their attack rate and speed slowed dramatically. In addition, affected enemies might become held as they are frozen in time. Targets affected by Time Crawl will have the chance to be held increased.

Slowed Response

You manipulate time around a targeted foe causing their reflexes to become slowed and sluggish. This causes them to have decreased defense, damage resistance and damage output. A target affected by Time Crawl will suffer from a more powerful effect.

Temporal Mending

You mend the wounds of yourself and nearby allies by placing your bodies in a past or future state where they are far less injured. Temporal Mending will immediately heal its targets and continue to heal them for an equal amount over the next 6 seconds. Additionally, affected allies will gain some resistance to slow effects and regeneration debuffs. Allies affected by the Accelerated effect will receive additional healing from this power

Temporal Selection

You distort time around an ally, selecting a period of time where their abilities are at their highest. Their damage, attack rate and regeneration rates are dramatically increased for a brief period. This power places the Temporal Selection mode on the target. While this is in effect, the target has any healing and healing over time effects from Temporal Mending or Chrono Shift significantly increased.

Recharge	Very Long

Time Crawl

You're able to dramatically slow the time around a single enemy, reducing their movement speed and attack rate. Time is slowed to such an extreme that their wounds will take longer to heal, reducing their regeneration rate. Time Crawl applies the Delayed effect on its target. Debuff and control effects from other Time Manipulation powers are increased on affected targets affected by Delayed.

Time's Juncture

You create a time dilation field around you causing enemies who get too close to be slowed to a crawl, their movement speed, damage and chance to hit will be decreased substantially. Enemies affected by Delayed have these affects increased

Time Stop

You trap your target within the flow of time causing them to be held helpless. Even those resistant to the effects of Time Stop's hold will still have their regeneration rate and healing effects reduced for a brief period. Targets affected by Time Crawl will suffer from a more powerful hold, however its benefits are brief.
