Hey! This is Max, though probably most of you don't know me. I've been kind of a lurker on here for the most part. But I wanted to ask a question of my own, if everyone's cool with that.

So here goes, I guess:

I know some of us seem to have some powers during our particular moon phase, but I wanted to talk about possible powers you guys might have had before coming here? Back in your own world.

Specifically though, I'm interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with manipulating time, and any possible consequences you know of that came with using that power. First-hand experience or otherwise, either would be useful.

Thanks!

i had a goat named max a long time ago, probably got eaten by darkspawn when we left lothering

anyway where i'm from, magic is more about physical aspects of the world, like nature or the elements or the human body, so i can talk about that. there's been theories and studies done, but as far as anyone knows, time magic isn't possible

that being said, the inquisitor and company evidently did something time magicky not too long ago, so you may get a better answer for that out of them

not here (yet)

Hello Max, that's a rather specific power to be asking about, isn't it?

Time manipulation is not possible. Even if it were, to do so would be unwise.

I've thrown some magic spells around about every other Halloween, if that counts.

Uh... Okay, I'm familiar with both time travel and stopping time, but I don't know how to do either myself and the mechanics of time travel especially are just bizarre where I come from. I don't even know if you want to hear the explanation.

Time magic is a very powerful and useful ability. Strategic applications of Haste and Slow can make or break a battle! There are also applications to allow retreading of failed actions, finding the right path.

Skills like concentration also fall under time manipulation and skilled execution of that skill can alter the outcome of serious and tense situations.

So far I have mastered those practices, but I'm always looking for new skills to learn.

depends on what you mean by 'manipulating time', doesn't it?

you mind giving an example?

We travel through time to prevent others from tampering with history, is that kind of what you're asking about? Although it's not really a power, we use a space-time device to do it.
