Effect
Target one creature within Near range. They skip forward 3 Ticks on The Count. Their position on the timeline advances without them taking any action — they effectively lose time.
If this pushes them past their intended action, that action is lost.
Resist
ECHO + Focus vs. your Channeling Sum negates.
Steps
+2 Ticks skipped per Step.
Special
Against targets with a long-Tempo action about to resolve (a Psionic in the Open State, someone performing a Heavy Cleave), the timing disruption is devastating — their action may resolve late or be wasted entirely.
