## Usage

The user creates a literal physical deadline (in the form of a giant clock-like object) for any nearby targets. If the clock-like object reaches 'zero', the target will progressively age and be overcome with feelings of intense remorse and regret. Usually feelings of suicidal behavior occur. The more the target ages past the 'zero' mark, the more the suicidal behavior intensifies, almost making it seem impossible for the target to carry on in battle.

It is considered a bullying tactic due to the target's age and personal failures being used against them. With Copyright, trademarks and intellectual properties being the personal failure.

### Users

* ***Cait La Newland*** tried to use the attack on both Nomad Bradley and his merged counterpart, Mandoré. The former successfully used a Hell Clone to escape the attack in time, despite her attack successfully aging part of his arm. With Mandoré however, he broke free of Cait's attack and rendered it useless. Believing that "copyright, trademarks and old age are irrelevant unless dealing with superficial losers".
* ***Stealing Man*** is adept at using copyright/trademark-based bullying tactics to outdo his opponents, he never specifically uses this attack but is capable of utilizing it.
* ***Grand Nielson*** relies on the media and its obsession with age, health and beauty to bully others. He used the attack to once psych out approaching Neo-Deserters and Daniel Goldberg. Juno Barone managed to successfully ignore the attack, especially due to his advanced age. Goldberg reversed the attack, even using an Ignore Command in the process, making him practically invulnerable to this attack's usage as well.
* ***Phobos*** is adept at manipulating target's fears and psychologically analyzing most living creature's innate desires. One such thing Phobos discovered within Nomad Bradley was the existence of a *"man whom looked like him"*, using the bullying tactic and the cruelty of other people as a means to age Nomad into his natural state and remind him that his life and friends were never real but a figment of the imagination.
* ***Chronos*** utilizes high-leveled time magic spells to accelerate a target's age. The angrier he becomes, the more he can use variations of this attack such as Missed Livelihood attacks alongside basic spells like Age, each move borrowing from one another the failures of life and approaching age.
* ***Clock Terror******/Nathan Chronics*** can perform the attack, using it in battles against Daniel Goldberg. The attack succeeded in aging Goldberg at first but eventually he realized this was an illusion and that he was simply crushing a lone camera gun.
* ***Fortuna Moira*** of the High Heaven Council-based Equinox Force group enjoys using the attack on others' to bring about a misfortune and brush with suicide. She likens the attack many times to the struggle of success and the evils of those whom already acquired the success.
* ***Lion Wrangler*** seemingly can cast the attack, due to his background as a manager and love for grocery retail kingdoms, he knows the effects of failures to produce intellectual properties due to former associates attempting to pursue creative careers. Though he tends to avoid casting it, fearing that instead of aging the target, he would drastically age himself right into the age of his own outdated phrases and one-liners.
* ***Lenora Hunt*** tried to create a "prison"-like replica of Fresh Panther (using a Diseased Core) to ensnare a teenage Damon and Hangi Bell in some one-shot adventures. Despite the former suffering from a bout with anxiety and a Prolonged Depression, It took the combined efforts of both Hangi and Lion Wrangler himself to pull the teen out.
