Time Slip's escape effect could be called the uncrowned king, unmatched across all disciplines.
Even if Black Earl personally set up a confinement array, so long as it contained no time-based energy, one could still "walk through walls" without anyone noticing.
And once Exus used Time Slip to cross the confinement array's range, the road ahead became much simpler. Witch Sharon could take charge of the spatial teleportation entirely.
That was the fundamental reason Exus and the others had been able to escape through layer upon layer of obstacles. No one had expected that among them was an exceedingly rare time-type wizard.
"Time Slip... so powerful, and it's only a cantrip." Wai murmured softly.
Thinking of the cantrips he had learned, then looking at other people's cantrips, Wai felt the unevenness of the world with unprecedented clarity.
Angel and Dox actually shared sentiments similar to Wai's. By Black Earl's description, the cantrip Time Slip was more convenient than most spells.
However, according to what Black Earl had said before, all time-type abilities came with corresponding restrictions. Such a powerful cantrip presumably had no small limitations either.
Very soon, Black Earl gave them the answer.
"Though Time Slip is merely a cantrip, its difficulty of casting and the risks it entails are far greater than those of ordinary spells..."
While granting immense convenience, Time Slip also came with immense restrictions.
The first thing to understand was that Time Slip's traversal was not a spatial displacement, but a leap across spacetime distance.
Whether "spacetime distance" or "leap," neither was terminology used at the apprentice stage. The former involved an understanding of the void, while the latter concerned the expression of energy states.
Because such knowledge was too obscure and profound, even formal wizards of other disciplines might not encounter it. But
