Chronomancy is manipulating the forces of flowing time, and altering them to suit your gain. It is a quite dangerous
tradition, as the practice of slowing, reversing, or diverting the flow of time can accidently tear novices to pieces, spreading
them thinly across the timelines, or sometimes even drop them into an entirely different era, with no way of returning home.
Experienced Masters, however, walk the generations as legends and folklore lost in the tales of millennia.
