The Chronoguise Incantation

The Chronoguise Incantation was created by the Creed of the Mirror Exorcists. It was meant for minor temporal manipulations and to bend time to the Exorcist's favor.

Effect

The Chronoguise Incanatation is used to manipulate time and the temporal side of Aether, creating small pockets of time where the user can step in and out of it.
At first, the Chrono Sorcerer will only be able to sense the presence of any temporal disturbance. But as the Chrono Sorcerer advances in power with the Chronoguise Incnatation, they will be able to move faster than the naked eye could see, stop time for a few seconds, and step between the linear motions of time.

Side/Secondary Effects

Some common side effects the Chrono Sorcerer will encounter are: Seeing the world in slow motion, glimpses of possibilities that have either occurred or haven't occurred, and distortion of one's own body.
The land where the Chronoguise Incantation what used will leave behind a trace of temporal disturbance. This disturbance will only be able to be seen by a Chrono Sorcerer.

Manifestation

Once the proper hand gestures have been done, then a symbol of a rounded hour glass with stars instead of sand will appear on either the Chrono Sorcerer's finger(s), hand(s), or eye(s).

Source

The Chronoguise Incantation stems power from the Weave of Aether, drawing from the Aether of the past, present, future, and possible realities.

Discovery

The Chronoguise Incantation was first discovered by the Creed of The Mirror Exorcists, adding more to the superstitious mystique they possessed. Only the Grandmaster Council were allowed to know of the temporal powers the Mirror Exorcists possessed. But tragedy struck when the Creed of The Mirror's Monastery was attacked and ransacked by a mob of daemonic creatures led by an Arcanist named Tor'vil Vystra, and helped by other assailants.
Who were the other's helping Tor'vil Vystra?

Tor'vil's siege on the Creed of The Mirror's Monastery was helped by the Creed of The Fiend Exorcists as they were promised money and the Mirror Exorcists' secrets.

After the attack on the Mirror Monastery, Tor'vil discovered torn and burnt pages of the Mirror Exorcists notes on The Chronoguise Incantation and took the remnants to Arcanist councils. Nowadays, the Chronoguise Incantation is used by the Creed of The Mirror Exorcists and select Arcanists that Tor'vil shared "his" discovery with.
