I love the new passive, only qualm I have is that "Time in a Bottle" just sounds really really bad. After looking the phrase up to see if it was even a thing, I found that unless your a Jim Croce fan, or are really into "Philosophy" beauty products, it's a pretty obscure term.

Why not name it "Time Capsule?"

It fits with the rest of his abilities, sounds better, is more relateable, and still fits the ability just fine.

Just an idea, super excited to play new Zilean.

Also I attached the song because it's pretty decent.

I disagree, the song "Time in a Bottle" as you've heard is a song about loss, about not being able to spend the drifting days with a loved one before it's too late. This, I feel, better matches Zileans lore than "Time Capsule" does. The loss of his home as it was destroyed so long ago, unable to change its fate as he drifts mentally through time, sometimes before Urtistan's ruin, to which he can do nothing but regret and remember. Don't you think that the sadness of 'Time in a Bottle" fits more than the novel nature of time capsule?

On a side note, I really wouldn't call "Time Capsule" more relateable since few people even bother to make one, while plenty of people have know the feeling of time that could have been better spent with a love one.
