Tempomechanics

Practice — Time, sequencing, duration, causality

Practice Domain

Tempomechanics is the Practice of manipulating time, sequencing, duration, and causality. It allows practitioners to accelerate, decelerate, pause, reorder actions, and revert changes.

Uptick

Attunement: Diamonds

RCTagEffect
0HastenSlight speed increase, quick tasks
1AccelerateDouble speed, rapid actions
2BlurExtreme speed, hard to perceive
3FlashNear-instant action, time dilation
4Eternity in SecondsExperience years in moments

Downtick

Attunement: Diamonds

RCTagEffect
0DragSlight slowdown, delayed reactions
1SlowHalf speed, molasses movements
2CrawlNear-frozen, extreme slow motion
3SuspendAlmost stopped, moments last hours
4FrozenTime stops for target completely

Pause

Attunement: Diamonds

RCTagEffect
0HesitateBrief pause, skip a beat
1StopHalt for seconds, frozen moment
2Freeze FrameExtended pause, minutes of stillness
3Time LockTarget locked outside time
4Eternal MomentPause indefinitely, remove from time

Reorder

Attunement: Diamonds

RCTagEffect
0ShuffleMinor initiative change, act sooner
1PriorityAct first in sequence
2InterruptInsert action into another's turn
3Causality BreakEffect before cause
4First and LastAct at beginning and end simultaneously

Revert

Attunement: Hearts

RCTagEffect
0UndoReverse last few seconds of change
1RestoreReturn to state minutes ago
2ResetRevert to state hours ago
3RegressionReturn to state days/weeks ago
