whichbe commented on the word chronokinesis
Chronokinesis is the ability to mentally affect the flow of time. Time manipulaters can slow down time and speed it up. They are usually only capable of affecting the flow of time in the immediate area and are often (hopefully) unaffected by their own powers.
