Chronometromancy (a.k.a.: Clock Magic)

“Temporal”: All clock spells have a “temporal” descriptor and are affected by abjurations that block temporal effects.

Timeline: The universe has infinite planes and each plane has infinite timelines. Since the beginning of time, every time a choice is made a new timeline has formed. Just like a flow chart, each timeline is a branch down a different temporal path. This continual diverging has produced an infinite variation on existence from divergence on monumental points of history. Like a different plane any creature not native to a timeline is considered an Outsider in regards to all spell effects.

Time Field: Surrounding every object is a time field. It is similar to an aura and is a signature of ones age and native timeline.

Transcendental Magic: Clock Magic and Mirror Magic are unique paths of magic only available to specialist clock and mirror wizards that overlap the classic 7 schools of magic. Sorcerers can learn Clock or Mirror Magic spells if they wish.
