Time Dilation is a mental mutation that allows the player to distort time within a small radius, slowing other creatures caught within.
This mutation grants the "Time Dilation" activated ability, which when used, will cause any creature within 9 tiles of the player to receive a Quickness penalty determined by their proximity to the player and the player's mutation level. This 9 tile radius is effective in a square area centered on the player, translating to a full effect area of 19 x 19 tiles.
Time Dilation's Quickness penalty is calculated as a percentage of the target's base Quickness score. A creature's effective Quickness cannot be reduced below zero.[1] Time Dilation will always apply at least a 1-point Quickness penalty.[2]
Formula
The following formula is used to determine Quickness penalty based on proximity to the player and mutation level.[3]
Quickness Penalty | (9 - Distance)2 × (0.0005 × Level + 0.0085) × 100
