Unstabilized Time Field

A shimmering, unstable temporal distortion emanating from Scarlioni’s jagged temporal device. It pulses with erratic waves of displaced light, capable of tearing localized rifts in time-space. Romana flinches as the field’s chaotic energy threatens to unravel whole sections of 1979 Paris into divergent timelines. Scarlioni visibly struggles to control its raw power, the tool’s instability reflecting the Count’s fractured origin as a Jagaroth traveler. His threat—immediate collapse of a major city—doubles as leverage over Romana’s expertise.
