The element of time was widely regarded as untouchable.
It was an aspect of reality suspended from what mortals could utilize to their advantage, much like space. Although all four of Plato's elements were usable through regular means, space was entirely different.
Although mortals could detach certain spaces from other spaces, not a single mortal could understand the profound concepts behind space and freely manipulate it to their liking.
Time was the same.
Time was abstract. It could not be influenced, and followed a predetermined order through the course of existence, unwilling to halt for anyone.
However, what if one could manipulate both time and space?
What if one could influence the perception of time in a detached space?
Such an ability would be hidden, and offered solely to the most powerful, right?
Wrong.
