They're too powerful to try to manifest as Egis... so instead you tap into the attuned aether generated using Aetherflow stacks (I like to kinda read it as taking in the extra aether to "convert" into the Trance energy, hence the Dreadwyrm stacks) to manifest a fraction of their power for a short time.
And just because you could Trance Alexander doesn't mean you'd suddenly get time-manipulation abilities. As mentioned, I'd probably just have it be his own death laser. Or, if there was any time-shenanigans... it'd be in the form of Haste/Slow effects and not actual time travel.
Doesn't mean people can't attempt time travel with the Trance, potentially with unexpected side effects. It lends itself to interesting scenarios.
