To start things off I have this review that I had prepared for the Time Chamber thread. Since I’ve experimented more with this field, I decided to work more with this concept and expand my discoveries, hence why I created a new thread.
My first experiences with the Time Chamber field from Psychic University
"I had an important exam last Tuesday, but wasn’t really able to get in the flow of studying or using fields to get in that flow. I was just not feeling like it. I had my eyes on this field since I first saw it on the marketplace and I decided it was the perfect time to purchase it.
I’ve had some experience with time manipulation via Dream’s fields and in some other occasions where it happened naturally, so I didn’t feel like a rookie on the subject. But I have to say, this field is no joke.
To start things off in my plan to extend what time I had left until the exam, I placed a bubble around my bed, 15x slower and 5 meter radius (more than enough to cover my entire room). As soon as I did, the weight of time slowing down came in hard and moving felt more sluggish, as if I was underwater but with the air not that dense. It didn’t take too long to get used to the weight, but the heavy psychic activity going on kept me awake for a few more minutes than I’d take to sleep without the field.
The thing is, it was very much worth it. Even though I woke up a couple of times during sleep, I woke up around 5 hours later and felt like I had slept 8 hours. I still had time to sleep, and so I did: l managed to sleep as much as I wanted in just 8 hours, which felt like eternity. Usually, this could be 16+ hours, considering that I’m at the end of my semester in college and going through an intense healing process.
And there’s always a few minutes when I’m still in bed, accumulating willpower to start my day, which can go to more than half an hour if I’m not paying attention, but it was no problem inside the bubble. No more than 15 minutes had passed, when it felt like 30~35 minutes easily. If I hadn’t slowed down because I felt like I overslept, 5 minutes inside the bubble would be 1~2 minutes outside it.
To make this even more obvious, I went to the bathroom and got something to eat. Just doing these two things already took up 20+ minutes. Small things like these always take up so much time, it’s very bothersome and inconvenient. Going through all the things I said above made it painfully obvious how fast time was burning outside the bubble, simple tasks seem to cost way more than they should.
On my way to college, I tried improvising a moving bubble: as soon a part of me went outside the area of the bubble, I’d deactivate it and create another one. It works, but it’s not easy and you have to adjust the radius of the bubbles to how fast you can handle refreshing them. 1 meter radius would be ideal to minimize interacting with people passing by, but my best was 3 meters.
My experiences during this test were:
- Moving through a bubble with time passing faster inside it = feels like the time outside the bubble pushes you forward
- Moving through a bubble with time passing slower inside it = feels like you’re walking faster
When in college, I created a bubble to slow down time 15x. This made a 2.5 hours period feel like 14 hours. This is mindblowing, all my previous attempts to slow down time weren’t even close to having such a massive effect. Thanks to this, me and my friend were able to cover a lot more subjects than we would have otherwise.
The night before my exam, I did the same as the one before. I felt the bubble being created, but the effects weren’t as pronounced as before. The main difference was that I was anxious thinking about my test and had a harder time falling asleep. When I did, it wasn’t as deep as the night before and I woke up multiple times. My body had a nice rest, but my mind was similar to what it would be without the bubble.
The following day, my exam happened. I asked for a bubble that would slow down time 15x more than default and that was big enough to cover the entire classroom. Well, the exam was longer and harder than I anticipated, which made me really really anxious. In this altered state, the field wasn’t working so well and time passed way faster than in the previous day, even though the parameters for the bubble were the same.
But, contrasting that, when I took a break to go to the bathroom, I created another bubble, so as to not take too long to return to the classroom. The field worked better in this instance: I took 5 minutes to do what usually would take 10~15 min. Thanks to that, I was able to take my mind off the exam, even if only a little, and it was cost-effective regarding time.
So far, I’m not always getting the results I have in mind because I don’t fully understand how it works, but the exploration is very valuable."
