Time is a mysterious and dangerous power. It allows looking into the past and possible futures, but can create deadly paradoxes.

Time is the governing principle of all things, the regulator or the stream from Order to Flux. Together with Space, Time governs position and movement. The universe would be incomprehensible without orderly time. Time is a favorite of disaster theorists. Many claim that time manipulation is foolhardy and dangerous. Some claim time is an artifact of our perception; that it is the ultimate prison. Time travel is possible, but temporal inertia tend to restore events to what they were and minimize the effect of any changes to the past.

Time attacks stops time for an instant, then you set up weapons and events to cause harm when time resumes. They are hard to defend against, but likely to cause severe backlash if time is released too soon.
