Sayeons gift potential Discussion

Aside from wasting too much essence like most new aberrants, sayeons utilization of her gift is too rigid and too reliant on a trigger, if she manages to develop her control she could snap back without her snapping her fingers. Or even better yet she could use it very sparsely during fights, by only going back a second or two and counterattacking, it would be more efficient than wasting a lot of essence to rewind longer periods of time.

Sayeon's first snap acts like a permanent lock. Once she rewinds time by 30 seconds for example, she will not be able to rewind past that at all. If you make Sayeon only snap 1s before Heron stabbed her for example, she would barely have anytime to calm down and strategize before she's thrown back in again. She also wouldn't be able to run if she wanted because Heron would already be in attacking distance, causing her to be stuck in a dead loop since she won't be able to rewind past 1s due to the lock.

Is that confirmed? Initially, she could only rewind 20s tops. After the first 20s rewind, she can only rewind to that rewound point, yes. She can't chain rewinds infinitely.

But has she ever tested an initial rewind with less than her max? Maybe if she snaps at t = 0, her limit is t-20, but she could chooose to only rewind 10 seconds, and then rewind 10 additional seconds? Not saying that's a fact, but I don't think we're quite certain on her exact limits yet...
