Ambiance: Serene, with natural elements and timeless calm.Key Design ElementsTemporal Shielding.

There are three types of Time based abilities

1. Temporal wave: Ability to detect anything or any material that is not of a time line, this ability is mostly posessed by the obsevers and analysts. As it is an ability more fitting for them and their jurisdiction.

2. Portal creation: the ability to create time portals used for time travelling.it involves the use of equipment or concepts, these are then infused with temporal energy and are then transformed into portals. These equipments or concept however do not surpass the day it was created.

Eg: Leonardo DaVinci's paint brush can be used to travel to the point in time when he uses that paint brush and none else.

3. Time stopping, a super rare ability. It involves the altering of time and reality, a weilder of this ability can put time to a stop but it comes with its disadvantages as it exerts a toll from its user whenever it's in use.
