Name: Distortion
Rank: Learned (B/Strong)
Type: n/a
Description: This spell uses Return Pads as its basis. Return Pads are small seals the user can place on solid surfaces that lock the user's current constitution and relative position in place.

The user is able to blink back to any one return pad on the battlefield. Upon having blinked to a return pad, it becomes inactive and disappears.

Strengths:

• Can not be interrupted

Name: Resonance Lock
Rank: B
Type:
Description: This spell affects damage inflicted to opponents by the user's own time magic.

Name: Resonance Echo
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Description: This spell loops a influence over a living thing over and over to continuously apply dealt damage again, repeatedly dealing unavoidable damage. This spell is a single targeted time warp that functions like a debuff. For the time the target is affected by this spell, they receive damage twice from all sources.

Strengths:

• High damage output for little risk
  
• Additional damage and debuff are unavoidable

• Is negated in fields of Gravity Magic

Name: Zeitgeist
Rank: S
Type: Counter/Heal
Description: A quite versatile spell that can save the user out of most any predicament. Initially, the user immediately warps himself out of time, effectively making himself untargetable.

Meaning, on the second cast, the spell only undoes 6 posts of damage. On the third cast, the spell undoes 3 posts of damage. On the fourth cast, this spells only undoes 1 post of damage. For the rest of the thread, the spell will only ever undo 1 post of damage at the same cost.

Strengths:

• Is not negateable by magic
  
• Renders the user untargetable for a short moment
  
• Can heal back for large amounts
  

Weaknesses:

• Exponentially decreases in strength
  
• Needs to be strategically placed, a missed opportunity can decrease this spell's value
  
• Does not heal for a flat amount = unreliable
