The '''''[[Arcana]] of Time''''' governs the viewing of and interaction with the flow of time as it is understood within the [[Fallen World]]. Spells within the purview of this Arcanum grant the mage a wide range of abilities influencing such things as knowledge of future events and the ability to see into the past. A mage skilled in the use of this Arcanum can look backwards or forwards in time, alter time’s flow around herself or others, and, in extreme cases, travel backwards and forwards in time or rewrite her own history. This Arcanum is commonly found in the hands of the [[Acanthus]], whose fortunes always hang by a thread, and thus require some knowledge of potential outcomes. | The '''''[[Arcana]] of Time''''' governs the viewing of and interaction with the flow of time as it is understood within the [[Fallen World]].

A mage well versed in the Arcanum of Time has a great number of advantages over her peers in mundane life and Awakened business alike. The abilities possessed by such mages allow them to divine the future with great clarity; an expedient mage should not need to be informed of the advantages of such power, but they are multifarious and often highly detrimental to one’s Wisdom. Likewise, the ability to look directly into the past confers a great deal of advantages upon the user; one can watch past events to aid in research, help find artefacts, determine the guilty party in the case of crimes committed by the Awakened, or simply observe for the sake of amusement. Objects can be sent forward in time, so that they are not available to an enemy until the time is right for their usage. The mage may cause herself or others to experience an unusual flow of time, making enemies slower or giving her more time to work on a complex task. At the highest levels of mastery, a mage can even rewrite her past or freeze a target within the flow of time altogether. | A mage well versed in the Arcanum of Time has a great number of advantages over her peers in mundane life and Awakened business alike.
