Overview
Chronos is the school of time manipulation: temporal displacement, temporal echoes and altered projectile time. A master of Chronos is a Chronomancer.
Chronos effects are bounded and local. They bend time for particular targets, paths and projectiles rather than slowing the whole world.
Known concepts
- Retracing movement along a lagged path.
- Slowing and manipulating projectiles.
- Pinning time shadows.
- Temporal fractures, which can harm the attacker.
In the design
- Defining rule. Chronos can manipulate sequence, duration, temporal rate and recent temporal history, but it cannot freely undo consequences.
- World property. Time, Sequence and Temporal History.
- Exceptional at. Temporal control / sequence manipulation / projectile timing.
- Deliberate weakness. Cannot undo consequences (no resurrection, damage reversal or HP restoration); borrowed speed creates Temporal Debt; effects obey current world physics and carry readable tells.
- Mastery. Ascended Chronos: fractures their own existence across simultaneous temporal possibilities (Temporal Schism).
