AI summary

Awakens you as a Time Wizard, deepening your Will to something truly superhuman and producing from it Power — the ability to push actions further or widen their scale and breadth — which can respond even to things you had no way of knowing about, provided you would have used it had you known. One of your existing traits rises to prominence as your Core, the ability through which you engage reality, becoming more than it was and more than it would ever have become, and from that Core comes the Posit: both the power to state increasingly unhinged facts about reality and have them treated as true, and the power to work within paused, timeless moments — recursively, so that on seeing an outcome you dislike at the end of a round of reality-warping conflict you can pause the paused moment again, with an automatic pause triggering to carry you clear of any paradox you create. You begin with a single Core but can earn more through invested effort and time, and you gain five mundane, specific abilities phrased as '[verb] the [noun]' — Censor the Report, for instance — at which you are talented, and which become far more potent inside stopped time where they interact especially well with Power and with what you Posit; further such abilities can be learned with work, and those need not be mundane.

Description

It looks like the glass from 11:26 on Friday the 3rd, but the liquid inside is what you drank at 8:44 on Thursday the 27th.

Effects

  • Upon drinking this, you awaken to the truth of the matter. You are a Time Wizard.

  • You Will awakens, gaining a depth to it that is truly superhuman.

  • Born from your Will is Power. The ability to push actions further, or increase their scale and breadth.

  • Your Power can respond to things that you had no meaningful way to be aware of, if you would have used it if you had been.

  • A trait of yours rises to prominence, the Core ability that you use to engage with reality. This trait, whatever it is, becomes more than it was, and more than it otherwise would have been. It is always greater than it 'should' be, no matter your current limits and accomplishments, and is immune to anything that would degrade it in a lasting way. Your ability to grow your Core becomes unbound, allowing linear growth forever.

  • From your Core, you gain the Posit. That is, both the ability to posit facts - to makes increasingly unhinged statements about reality and posit them to be true and then treat them as true, and the ability to Pause It. To pause the world for a timeless moment, when only reality warping can engage with the world.

  • You may go recursive with this. For example, upon 'ending' a round of reality warping conflict in a timeless moment, and seeing a final outcome you don't wish to see, you could 'pause' the paused moment, and engage in another round of reality warping. Any reality warping within such a paused moment is increased in power and scale. Even if you don't want it to be.

  • If the final outcome creates a paradox, you 'automatically' create a moment of paused time to, if not resolve the paradox, to get yourself out of its way and to safety. Though you can try and resolve it if you want.

  • As is necessary for a power born of stopped moments, your Posit can respond to things that you had no meaningful way to be aware of, if you would have used it if you had been.

  • While you start out with a single Core, some trait you already possessed (if not necessarily one that had been impressive before this point), you may, through effort and invested time and work, gain more. Each of them will have their own reservoir of Posit. You may only draw upon one of them for any single act of Time Wizardry.

  • You gain five abilities that you are talented at. These should all be 'mundane,' reasonably specific, limited actions, taking the form of '[verb] the [noun].' For example, Censor the Report. You are highly talented at these, to a literally supernatural degree.

  • In a moment of stopped time, when reality is paused, you may leverage them much further. They specifically are highly compatible with Power, and highly malleable to you positing things about the world.

  • You may learn more of these through effort and invested time and work gain more. These ones do not have to be mundane, if you have access to non-mundane skills and abilities.

  • Your Power and Posit instantly restores itself while in time. That is, they can be exhausted within Timelessness, and only restored to full within time. That said, starting a round of reality warping conflict partly restores Power, as does being caught in a Paradox.

  • Being dead, destroyed, erased, banished from reality, or sealed does not stop your Power, and Posit, and you can continue to use them as if you could think, plan, and feel. If someone locks you away outside of time, provided time exists outside your prison, you may use that frame of reference instead of your own.

  • Realities wraith suffuses you. Those who wield reality warping against you taint their workings with Wrath, a force that attempts to hijack their efforts against them, usually in a way that benefits you. This is a gradual poisoning, not an instant shutdown.

  • While you're called a 'time wizard', your powers are not magical, and anti-magic will not work against them. They are, on some level, tied to the nature of Time itself. As such, you gain a 'true name', a moment in time that marks you. You veil yourself in that moment, such that everyone who sees you will only recognize you as that 'moment.'

  • For example, no one at the scene of a crime could describe you as anything but "12:31 Monday." Even people who otherwise know you can be forced to not recognize you (unless they know your 'date' identity).

  • As you own your 'true name.' No attempt to use something like a True Name will work against you. You may permit or deny any sympathetic effect affect you as you will.

  • As a one time benefit, you may rebuild your body any way you want to, if you're not yet confident in doing the same with your own abilities. This will fix any health problem, no matter how subtle.
