	Time magic has made rare and sporadic appearances through the history of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Usually, when it does appear, it is in the form of individual spells or, more rarely, [[psionics]] that provide some limited ability to travel through time. The spells Haste, Slow, and Time Stop have appeared in most editions. It can be argued these don't actually manipulate time so much as let the effected creature move really fast (or slow in Slow's case). In 3rd Edition, the spell [http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/pg/20030409b Teleport Through Time] appeared in a web article on WotC's official website. Theoretically kept in check by requiring a very specific material component, it became spectacularly broken because it neglected to prohibit Eschew Material Components from bypassing that need. A handful of [[Psionics\|Psionic]] abilities comboed to allow a clever user to rewind time, which is detailed below.		Time magic has made rare and sporadic appearances through the history of [[Dungeons & Dragons]].

			The spells Haste, Slow, and Time Stop have appeared in most editions. It can be argued these don't actually manipulate time so much as let the effected creature move really fast (or slow in Slow's case). Same with [[elf\|elves]]' fuckery if they be particularly old-school like the hulder in [[Taladas]]. Few in the fantasy genre ever cared about Einstein's relativity, so we don't worry about superluminosity's effects on causality; anyway, as long as we stay in the same world, [[teleport]], dimension-door ''etc.'' may as well be light-speed.

			As settings go, [[Greyhawk]] publications off-and-on hinted that Tovag Baragu had time-bending effects before [[Die Vecna Die]] just ruled that they were space-bending. Explicit time-travel occurs in [[CM6: Where Chaos Reigns]] (where it's the whole point) and [[DA1: Adventures in Blackmoor]] (where it's an excuse to get [[Mystara]]ns over there). And then there's whatever [[Bruce R. Cordell]] was doing with the [[illithid]]s.

			In 3rd Edition, the spell [http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/pg/20030409b Teleport Through Time] appeared in a web article on WotC's official website.

	The "Psionic Save-Game" exploit in 3.5 combined the psionic power Time Hop, from the core psionics book, with the power Forced Dream from Magic of Eberron. Time Hop propelled the target forward in time a few dozen seconds, an action normally harmless to the timestream and functionally identical to the common Maze spell (except it didn't take time away from spell duration), while Forced Dream allowed the user to rewind time to the start of their turn. On its own this combo was a nice trick, but combined with a few other pieces the time between save and load could be extended to days.

A handful of [[Psionics\|Psionic]] abilities comboed to allow a clever user to rewind time, which is detailed below.

	The ~~spells Haste~~, ~~Slow~~, ~~and~~ Time ~~Stop have appeared~~ in ~~most editions~~. ~~It can~~ be ~~argued~~ these ~~don~~'~~t actually manipulate~~ time ~~so much~~ as ~~let~~ the ~~effected creature move really fast~~ (~~or slow~~ in Slow~~'s case)~~.

On its own this combo was a nice trick, but combined with a few other pieces the time between save and load could be extended to days.

			In 4th edition, a ritual in [[Dragon Magazine]] allows the caster to open portal to different times, thus allowing for time travel as a semi-controllable plot element.

			Outside of these dabblings in temporal magic, D&D has rarely gone into depth with allowing a player to fully exploit chronomancy. The first attempt at a full-fledged time manipulator appeared in the form of an NPC class for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition called the [[Doctor Who\|Time Lord]]. Then 2nd edition debuted a [[splatbook]] called "Chronomancer", which gave players the ability to play a [[Wizard]] specialist focused on time manipulating magic. After this, time control slipped out of players' hands until [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], where the "Chronurgist" is one of the [[Wizard]] subclasses based on [[Dunamancy]], focusing specifically on its time-manipulating aspects.

			===Chronomancer Class===
			The Chronomancer is a Specialist [[Wizard]] in [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2nd edition, and as such is full of the usual bullshit of arbitrary rules and restrictions:
			::Ability Score Requirements: Intelligence 17+, Wisdom 16+ (to dual-class to Chronomancer requires Int 18+ and Wisdom 17+)
			::Alignment Requirement: Non-Chaotic
			::Race & Level Restrictions: Human (Unlimited), [[Elf]] (15th level), [[Half-Elf]] (12th level)
			::Chronomancers gain +1 spell per level, which must be a Chronomancy spell, as with any specialist wizard.
			::Chronomancers do not gain any saving throw bonuses against Chronomancy spells, although they do still inflict a -1 penalty to saves against them.
			::Prohibited Schools: [[Abjurer\|Abjuration]], [[Conjurer\|Conjuration/Summoner]], [[Necromancer\|Necromancy]]
			::-2 penalty to saves against spells from prohibited schools being cast by specialists in those schools.
			::+10% bonus to learning Chronomancy spells, -25% penalty to learning any other spells.
			::At 5th level, become immune to Haste and Slow spells.

	~~The "Psionic Save-Game" exploit in 3.5 combined the psionic power Time Hop~~, ~~from the core psionics book~~, ~~with the power Forced Dream from Magic~~ of ~~Eberron~~. ~~Time Hop propelled~~ the ~~target forward in time~~ a ~~few dozen seconds~~, ~~an action normally harmless~~ to the ~~timestream and functionally identical to~~ the ~~common Maze spell~~ (~~except it didn't take time away from spell duration~~), ~~while Forced Dream allowed~~ the ~~user~~ to ~~rewind~~ time to the ~~start~~ of their ~~turn.

Compared to wizards, Chronomancers have a unique EXP to level table, but otherwise they're basically just their own kind of specialist wizard.

			Chronomancers have access to four [[kits]] and two subclasses. The kits are the ''Guide'' (a Chronomancer working to coax history along a path of their choosing), the ''Historian'' (a Chronomancer using magic to better study the past), the ''Seer'' (a Chronomancer focused on studying the future), and the ''Traveler'' (a Chronomancer who wants to master the practical aspects of time travel and basically treats the past & present like [[dungeon]]s to raid in the process).

'''Chronomancy''', in real world occultism, refers to [[divination]] specifically orientated around locating the best and worst times to do... well, pretty much anything. In actual fantasy settings, it refers to a subschool of [[magic]] focused on manipulating time in various ways. Whilst this is mostly a [[/v/]] phenomena, due to the way players can really, ''realy'' fuck over a DM by exploiting this in gamebreaking ways on the tabletop, there are tabletop settings where it makes an appearance.

==Anima==
Arcane Exxet, the magic and supernatural sourcebook for Anima: Beyond Fantasy, features Time magic as an available subschool.

==Dungeons & Dragons==
Time magic has made rare and sporadic appearances through the history of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. It first appeared in the form of an NPC class for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 1st edition called the [[Doctor Who|Time Lord]]. Then 2nd edition debuted a [[splatbook]] called "Chronomancer", which gave players the ability to play a [[Wizard]] specialist focused on time manipulating magic.

==Rifts==
Worldbook 3: England for [[Rifts]] features both Temporal Mage and Temporal Knight character classes.

==Warhammer 40K==
[[Necron]] [[Cryptek]]s have a speciality called the Chronomancer, who uses Necron hyperscience to manipulate time.

==White Wolf==
In both [[Mage: The Ascension]] and [[Mage: The Awakening]], Time is one of the ten "elements" from which magic can be made.

The rare and much maligned True Brujah bloodline from [[Vampire: The Masquerade]] can control time with the Temporis Discipline.

Wraiths may gain some control over the passage of time using the Pandemonium Arcanos in [[Wraith: The Oblivion]].

Characters in [[Changeling: The Dreaming]] can control time using the Chronos Art.
