You drop the shield and place a palm on Mordred's head and begin to imbue the concept of Time into the girl. The moment you touch the girl with the intention to apply such an advanced concept to her, you can feel your magical energy being nearly immediately drained before it is recovered moments later. Even though the process takes place nearly instantly, it is still a great agony of having your body emptied and then filled entirely with magical energy, over and over again, the very application of Time causing time around you to freeze entirely as you are trapped in a loop of recovery and loss, how many cycles does it take? A hundred? Ten thousand? A million? In truth, you cannot tell. All you know is that the pain is immeasurable, your conceptual body is ravaged as it attempts to apply the concept to Mordred.

Finally, the pain ends, and you realize that you were finally successful. The concept of Time has been successfully imbued into Mordred, and the world fades to black as you are dragged out of Mordred's inner world. How long were you trapped in that single instant? Being looped over and over again by the concept of Time in order for there to be enough magical energy for the concept to finish being imbued into Mordred.

You open your eyes, and topple to the floor, getting a good look at Mordred before you do.
