I wanted to keep the time manipulation as more of a theme since it's a Soul extending it's time alive in an otherwise unnatural way similar to controlling the flow of time on the fly but the effects aren't as obvious so to speak.
I definitely agree that a lot of the frustration that can be experienced can be experienced via unbalanced trials, I did try my best but balance has never been my strong suit but I have faith I'll get there eventually and having someone point it out is always helpful!
Glad you found it interesting all the same.
