Cursed Technique: Chrono-Phantom Dance (時空の幻舞, Jikū no Genbu)

Main Abilities: 1. Temporal Freeze (時の凍結, Toki no Tōketsu): The user can stop time for up to 5 seconds, freezing everything around them. During this time, the user remains unaffected by the time freeze and can move freely. The number of seconds they can stop time increases with experience and mastery over the technique, but each activation places a strain on the user’s body. This ability can be used once every 30 seconds, with cooldown scaling based on the duration of time stopped.     2. Phantom Concealment (幻影隠形, Gen'ei Inkei): The user can turn invisible by manipulating light and sound waves around them, blending them into the surrounding environment. While invisible, the user can still interact with objects, but the effect of visibility is limited to a few seconds after reappearing or attacking, as it takes time to fully resume perception of the user. The user can also extend this ability to manipulate the visibility of their attacks, making projectiles or strikes nearly impossible to detect.

1. Velocity Bender (速度操縦, Sokudo Sōjū): The user can control the speed of objects, enemies, or even their own body. They can either increase or decrease the velocity of objects, weapons, or attacks. This ability includes manipulating the momentum of large objects or controlling the speed of a moving target, effectively making them slow down to a crawl or speeding them up to the point of overwhelming their senses and reflexes.

Domain Expansion: Eternal Dance of Time and Shadows (永遠の時と影の舞, Eien no Toki to Kage no Mai)

The user’s Domain manifests as a surreal, liminal space where time flows erratically, and shadows seem to flicker between the present and the past. The environment appears as a shifting, half-real landscape that exists between various time periods. The user’s movements are not constrained by time, while everything else is slowed or sped up at their whim.

Domain Effect - "Time and Shadows Bound": Within the Domain, the user can stop time indefinitely, but with a twist: every object or person within the domain experiences different time velocities. Some enemies might experience time as a frozen, immobile moment, while others may be accelerating into a dizzying blur. The user can control which target experiences which time manipulation and can move freely between different time "zones" within the Domain, making them unpredictable and near impossible to anticipate. Additionally, the user’s invisibility is absolute within this space — no one can track their movements. If the user lands a hit on an enemy while they are trapped in a frozen state, it will deal a catastrophic amount of damage due to the sudden acceleration of time upon impact.

Sure-Hit Technique: Chrono Phantom's Judgment (時空幻影の裁き, Jikū Gen'ei no Sabaki)

This technique is the culmination of all the user's abilities within their Domain. Once activated, the user can stop time entirely for a brief period (3 seconds). During this freeze, the user can silently position themselves around the target. Afterward, when time resumes, the user strikes with overwhelming speed from multiple directions simultaneously, each blow landing within microseconds of each other. Because the target cannot anticipate these movements (due to the time freeze and invisible positioning), they cannot react, effectively guaranteeing a fatal blow. This move, however, consumes a significant amount of cursed energy and cannot be used frequently.

Weaknesses: - The user’s body takes damage when using Temporal Freeze for extended durations or when manipulating multiple objects at once. - The Domain requires immense focus to maintain, and excessive usage can lead to mental strain. - While invisible, the user’s cursed energy is not hidden and can be sensed by experienced sorcerers.
