Looking over this spell, it removes the caster into a time hole. Time goes by 15 seconds inside to 1 minute outside.
The duration is 5 min. But which 5 minutes. Does the caster stay inside for 5 minutes real world time (1 minute 15 seconds inside) or 5 minutes inside time (20 minutes outside time)?
The text does say that 5 minutes outside will seems like 75 seconds to the person winked out, but it doesn't clarify if this is the max limit of the spell.

Re: Wink out
The caster's time frame. Since the spell is with the caster, not in the physical world.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.

It is only my opinion, but the way it reads to me is that 5 minutes pass in the real world and 75 seconds for the caster. The way it talks about the caster being "winked out" for up to five minutes makes it appear to be from an observer's point of view. I think it is telling that the examples they give are the lowest and highest possible time limits if we interpret it that way.
