Description: This ritual calls upon the chaotic energies of the Temporal Nexus, creating a brief ripple in the fabric of time. The caster gains limited control over the flow of time within a 30-foot radius centered on themselves. They can choose to slow down or speed up time for creatures within the area, granting advantage or disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. Once the ritual is complete, the temporal energies dissipate, leaving the area unchanged.

Consequence: There is a chance that the invocation will attract the attention of temporal anomalies. Roll a d20. On a roll of 1-5, the caster inadvertently summons temporal anomalies, causing unpredictable distortions in time within the area for 1d4 rounds.
