Time Manipulation

"Staleek, he can wrap time 'round his little finger; the hoodoo-voodoo is not gonna work!"

- John Crichton on Einstein, Farscape

"Mastery is achieved when 'telling time' becomes 'telling time what to do'."

- Magic: The Gathering, Telling Time

"Control Time, control EVERYTHING!"

- Acronix and Krux, LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu

"This thing all things devours:
 * Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
 * Gnaws iron, bites steel;
 * Grinds hard stones to meal;
 * Slays king, ruins town,
 * And beats high mountain down."

- One of Gollum's riddles for Bilbo, (The Hobbit Ch.5)

The ability to manipulate time.

Also Called

 * Chrono Control/Force
 * Chronokinesis
 * Fourth Dimension Manipulation
 * Temporal Alteration/Bending/Control/Manipulation/Warping
 * Time Alteration/Bending/Control/Warping

Capabilities
The user can manipulate the time in the general area or a specific target in various manners, the basics revolving around accelerating, slowing, stopping and even rewinding or looping. The range of area affected is proportional to the mastery of the user, with top levels can affect the entire space and time continuum.

Since "time" exists and flows within "space", the two are interrelated, and by manipulating time, one is basically distorting space proportionally. The effects of this relative distortion can vary, such as controlling time of a mere object or person may not affect the space they reside in, but to twist the time-stream of a region of space can cause the area itself to warp. Due to time existing in one space, manipulating it cannot affect another dimension.
