Temporal pixies

[Nephrite]

Moore had come across a temporal issue once before on one of his journeys that was corrected by (I assume) some agent of the Compact. Does he now remember this happening?

"Do standard methods of scanning for magic work on this?" He asks. "Or is there a specialized form of detection, like 'detect temporal anomaly' or something like that - and would a stronger spell, like Arcane Sight work, or would it need to be specific to a chronomancy or temporal-related issue?"

Got a link?

[Nephrite]

It's going to be difficult to find, but I will try and do so.

[Anastasia]

Thank you, let me know when or if you can't find it.

[Nephrite]

Thankfully I'm good at narrowing things down.

You would, yes.

"There are specialized spells for it, but some can be detected as Chronomancy is magic," Chrona 42 goes on. "Allow me to show you this." Magic follows, words of it strong and true. "This simple spell allows you to discern if you are in the Present or in the past."

Detect Temporal Position
Chronomancy
Level: Clr 1, Pal 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous

This spell allows you to discern if you are in the present or the past. If you are in the past, it informs you of how many years behind the Present you are.

"...Ah!" Moore exclaims. "I remember now, I must've... come by something like that some time ago."

He nods as the magic flows out. "So far, so good."

[Anastasia]

"Does all Chronomancy feel like that?" Xandra asks as she studies the spell.

"It often does at first," Chrona 42 explains, "As lost magic, it's part of the Weave denied to you. A serious spellcaster senses that it's something they could or even should have."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "All right, that makes sense. Will we just intuitively 'know' a spell is Chronomancy now?"

[Anastasia]

"It won't be hard for you to tell if you know what to look for," Chrona 42 confirms, "If you come on Chronomancy, investigate immediately and if it is someone what has violated the Compact, apprehend them if possible or destroy them otherwise."

"You command gods with great courage," Kaja notes, a hint of wry amusement.

"It's easy when every other deity supports this action," Chrona 42 returns right off, "None who lived through those times wishes to see them return."

[Nephrite]

"Out of curiosity, if you're allowed to say, there are some deities that embody certain aspects... was there ever a deity that was the embodiment of time? I imagine there are some that have a domain over it, but... I guess a greater version of Grandfather Time?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"Not wholly, not like that," Chrona 42 shakes his head.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Understood. Please, continue - sorry for the constant questions." He says. "Oh... actually, if I do end up having more after this, can I just ask someone like Lord Erathaol about it?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes, that would be proper," Chrona 42 concurs, "Any other questions?"

[Nephrite]

"For right now, no." Moore says.
