The blade only has one power.

You're watching NINJAGO on your television. You see Misako, Dareth, and Ronin getting into a fight about the Samurai X helmet. You decide to skip that part, skipping to where they end up fighting.

That's essentially what happened when the time blade landed.

Your in a battle, and you have a magic blade. This blade opens up a portal, a vortex, in which you can jump in and head to anywhere in time, as long as it's forward. When you jump in this vortex, you've disappeared, forever. Nobody in the future can find you because your still in there. You've altered the future. Then, when you've gotten out, you've altered the future again.

That's essentially what happens when Acronix uses the time blade.
