{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Mental Mutations|mental mutation]] that allows the player to create a {{favilink id|Space-Time Vortex}} in a nearby area.
This mutation grants the "Space-Time Vortex" activated ability, which when used, will prompt the player to select a tile to use the ability on. The player may only select a currently visible cell within 5 tiles. Confirming one's selection will cause a space-time vortex to be created in a random tile adjacent to the one chosen. The ability will also be placed on cooldown for a mutation level-based number of rounds.
== Vortex Behavior ==
{{Excerpt|Space-time vortex (phenomenon)#Vortex Behavior}}
== Duration ==
The space-time vortex will persist for {{dice tooltip|1d4+14}} rounds before disappearing naturally. If the player's mutation level exceeds 10, the vortex will persist for an additional number of rounds depending on that level. Space-time vortexes that come into contact with a source of [[normality]] will instantly collapse and disappear.
== Formulas ==
The following formulas are used to determine cooldown and bonus duration based on mutation level.{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World.Parts.Mutation|class=SpacetimeVortex}}
{|class="wikitable"
! Cooldown
| {{simple formula| 550 - 50 * Level }}
|-
! Bonus Duration (if Level > 10)
| {{simple formula| Level - 10 }}
|}
Note that the cooldown cannot be any lower than 5 rounds.

== Ability Cooldown ==
The cooldown for {{name}} is influenced both by mutation level and by willpower (WI). The following tables indicate {{name}}'s willpower-adjusted cooldown (CD) at mutation levels 1, 5, 10.

== Advantages & Disadvantages ==
{{Opinion}}
=== Advantages ===
* Allows the player to teleport themselves out of a dangerous location
* Players can also use the vortex to get rid of unwanted creatures
* Beneficial creatures can sometimes emerge from the vortex
* A lucky player may be able to obtain very advanced gear at low levels if they teleport to a fortuitous location deep underground
=== Disadvantages ===
* Moderate cost at character creation
* Vortexes do not kill enemies, rather they only teleport them away- thus the player will not gain XP from using this mutation
* Vortex will move randomly after creation, potentially teleporting things the player doesn't want to teleport
* If something is sucked up by the vortex that you would rather not lose, such as a companion, the chances of ever seeing it again are negligible unless you go in after it before the vortex closes
* Can potentially teleport the player to a more dangerous area
* Dangerous creatures can sometimes emerge from the vortex
