Any power can be balanced. This one should be, too.
Lvl 1:
Never Blink: During an attack, the user is able to pause time around himself for a split second, allowing him to bypass many (but not all) defenses.
Lvl 2:
Time Spring: After declaring the use of this power, for up to the power's level * 10 minutes, the user moves at a greatly reduced speed, becoming an easy target. Immediately after that time, the user's perception of time is greatly quickened for half that amount of time, allowing quicker reactions and movement.
Lvl 3:
Last-minute dodge: The user can pause the world around him for just a moment, allowing him to dodge an attack. Due to the shortness of the attack, it must be used at the last moment before an attack hits.
Lvl 4:
Temporal Stasis: The user can put an object into a condition where it does not change, as if it's frozen in time. Any person touching it with the specific intent to break this power can do so, but it becomes harder if the level of this power is higher.
Lvl 5:
Chronological Beatdown: The user executes a number (equal to the power's level +1) of attacks (or other actions) while the world around him is 'frozen'. Right after he is done performing said actions, they all happen simultaneously, with 'copies' of the user performing the attacks.
However, any damage done to or action performed on an earlier version (a version performing an earlier action) will affect all later versions.
The copies disappear upon completing their actions.
lvl 6:
Zone of slowness: The user summons a volume (of size L^3, where L is the level of the power), of any shape, where everything, including the user, is slowed down. It exists for as long as the user focuses on it, plus L minutes.
lvl 7:
Timeless movement: The user can move at impossible speed, in one quick movement, away from an attack, to one other point. They look 'stretched' over the area they're crossing.
Until the transition is complete (which is only a few moments, usually one round, but it could be revoked in the next if the conditions in the other spot are that much worse), they can, at any point, choose to return, but not to move to another location. While moving like this, the user can't perform any other actions. Any localized powers (such as shield) remain in their original place until the movement is completed.
During the transition, the user perceives both what their original self sees and what they would see if they were on the new spot.
lvl 8:
Temporal Trace: Touching an object, the user sees a faint outline of the object, showing how it moved through time in any frame of reference chosen by the user.
lvl 9:
Immediate Advice: The user can freeze time indefinitely, and move around freely in a radius of (the level of the power)*100m while time is frozen. However, they cannot alter anything. They can speak, but only to one person at a time and that person will not know what happened, only get this sudden subconscious Understanding.
They will also have a subconscious feeling whether the idea came from a friend, foe or stranger.
Lvl 10:
Time Cage: By touching a person, and doing no more than that, the user can freeze them in time indefinitely. Anyone touching that person (directly or with something like a stick), except for the user himself (not including copies), is frozen in time as well.
