Cole passes his hand over the face of a timepiece, gathering golden energy from it around his hand that forms into golden arcane symbols, before launching forward red-tinted wavering threads of energy that can pass through a single target or pierce out in a line through several. This is not only damaging physically, but the overwhelming sensory input is agonizing. He can use this offensively to strike at threats or defensively, withering the substance or energy of an incoming attack by dragging it through years on its way to him
This is the result of Cole's first clumsy attempts to unlock his scientific knowledge of time using arcane means. Rather than his goal of moving targets through time, his inability to let go of a local frame of reference causes him to push a rapid flow of time through the target. Perhaps as he accumulates gifts, he will gain more fine control.
