Time Cells are not very stable, their existence are tied up to specific events or objects. You can prepare the cell in advance, putting a bound supernatural creature, maze, trap or similar inconvenience in the Time Cell.

The most common combat use of this effect is to place a monster or deathtrap in the time cell beforehand, then banish your opponents into it. For players, this might be played out, but for NPCs it's usually made as an abstract roll. In general, it takes an opposed skill check against whatever skill you used to create the trick to open a time cell; each failed roll indicates an hour is lost or that the victim takes a hit (depending on how the trap is built). A time cell can also be dispelled as a [[Curse (Action)|Curse]].

A time cell can also be used as a retreat for study, healing and other activities you don't want interrupted. Characters in a time cell do not need to eat or drink and never run out of air. Time passes at the same rate inside and outside the cell, and it is possible to see out dimly.
