Continuum
Time will put your enemies in the ground.Continuum is an idiom smithed by merging the noun of Time with the verb Blow.
The caster concentrates and expels a plume of temporal energy in a cone from an appendage or mouth. Once the idiom stops being maintained, the plume remains active for 1 turn. Upcasting the idiom increases this duration. If expelled from the mouth, the idiom doesn't cost any Hand Point, but can only be maintained for 1 round + the caster's Constitution Modifier. At the end of this duration, the caster starts Suffocating. When maintained, the plume persists and hits every entity that starts its turn in it or enter its area of effect. The entity must pass the idiom's Saving Throw every time this happens.
