The spell in question was used by a Temple Knight to teleport from Orbonne to Mullonde, using a magic circle of sort on the ground in both places. Since this spell was the only way to reach Mullonde, it was highly sought after by the Lucavi (aka who the Temple Knight in question was following).

In other words, it wasn't time travel but long distance teleportation, despite the use of time in the incantation. As long as both circle remain intact, it's posible to go back and forth between the two places, which is why the Temple Knight destroyed the circle in Mullonde after the warp, to trap Ramza and co there along with the remaining Lucavi.

Hopefully this clears things up, if you have more question involving FFT, feel free to ask.
