The greatest practitioners of Time magic, called chronomancers, move between temporal moments to step back into the past or ahead into the future.

The ability to move through time and manipulate its passage lures many would-be masters to pit their minds against the complexities of the Time tradition, but most of them find themselves unable to free their intellects from the shackles of mundanity— which is required to truly apprehend reality from the perspective that this tradition demands. Only those who are a little off-kilter and perhaps slightly deranged seem able to understand how to use magic as it applies to the fourth dimension.

Time magic exacts a price from its practitioners. Anyone who would master this tradition must fray their own timeline so they can move more easily backward and forward through it. The result of this fraying sometimes causes casters to flicker in and out of view while they sleep or appear older or younger from one moment to the next.
