| style="background:lightyellow"|[[Aeonics]] is arguably the most powerful of the [[highmagic|high magic]] rituals, since it allows the manipulation of time itself. It is sometimes referred to as Chronomancy. Gazing into the past or peeking into the future, even if its only by a few moments, can generate many powerful spells indeed, though it has a heavy power cost. By using these temporal spells on others, they could become the victim of [[timewarp]]ing, which will cause them to become further displaced out of time. The more timewarped someone, the slower they are able to activate quicksilver defence and have slower equilibrium recovery.

|description = You can overclock your mind, causing it to race faster than normal. When this happens you'll automatically put up the quicksilver defence whenever it is dropped. Additionally, you will be able to react faster while under the effects of [[aeon]].

|description = By focusing on another's inner clock, you can throw it out of sync and lock that person in a [[aeon]] field.

|description = By turning inward, you can take control of the chaos of your mind and emotions, forcing them into order. Upon cold reflection, you can find insight into your own [[timewarp]]ing, allowing it to build faster on those with spiritual afflictions.

 

Effect: Boost timewarp afflicting for every <del>two</del> steam affs on timewarp that you deal. Lasts two minutes.

|notes = Insight will now give a flat +3 per steam aff on the target (not counting the first one). So 3 steam affs would give +6 warp from every source that Insight currently procs on. Additionally cap timewarp generation to 20 from a single source to address any remaining outliers and help ensure this change doesn't create different problems. (From REPORT 186)

|description = You can temper your body against the ravages of time and return it to a timeless stature.

Effect: Heals all vitals 50%.

'''Changelog:'''<br>

|description = By warping time around another, they will suffer from a longer delay in quicksilver speed defence, take longer to react in aeon and take longer to concentrate on equilibrium if it is disrupted. You can stack multiple timewarps around a victim to achieve a cumulative effect.

 

Effect: Afflict with [[timewarp]].

|skillname = Singularity

|syntax = TIMECHANT SINGULARITY <target>

|description = By summoning a powerful singularity, you can pull the target back into the room with the singularity. The chance to pull the target back depends on the amount of [[timewarp]] the target has: the more timewarp, the more likely they will be pulled. Should they resist, they will be afflicted with timewarp, moreso the farther away they are. The target must be in the same area, and a [[Enchantment#Monolith|monolith]] in the target's room will prevent the summons.

|description = Surrounding someone with echoes from time will afflict them with two spiritual ailments. Lasts two minutes.

|notes = Afflict with [[Time Echoes|timeechoes]]. Ticks every 7 seconds. Causes 1 steam affliction per tick. Will NOT apply [[powerspikes]], [[timewarp]] or [[aurawarp]]. Always tries to afflict something target does not already suffer from.

|skillname = FutureGlimpse

|syntax = TIMECHANT FUTUREGLIMPSE

|description = By glimpsing into the future (or perhaps your future self is glimpsing into his or her past which is your present), you can avoid certain afflictions. You can only manage this once every 10 seconds.

|skillname = ChronicLoop

|syntax = TIMECHANT CHRONICLOOP <target>

|cost = Power: 2 (Matrix)

|description = You can loop time around someone, catching when they are afflicted with spiritual afflictions. After 5 afflictions, the looping time will speed up and implode on the target, reafflicting the 5 afflictions. The affliction will fizzle out after two minutes if the afflictions are not met.

|notes = Afflict with [[Chronic Loop|chronicloop]].

|cost = Power: 2 (Matrix)

|description = By acting as an oracle, you can show the darkest of possible futures open to an individual, possible futures that will haunt that person with every new spiritual affliction.<br><br>

|notes = Afflict with [[oracle]].

Vitals Malus: -50% Mana/Ego

|description = By surrounding yourself with a powerful aeon field, your enemies will suffer from the [[aeon]] curse every time the field pulses as well as being [[timewarp|time warped]]. Whilst the Aeonfield is in effect, you will suffer a 50% reduction to your maximum Mana and Ego.

|skillname = TimeFlux

|syntax = TIMECHANT TIMEFLUX [ON{{!}}OFF]

|cost = Power:  10 (Matrix) (to enable)

|description = By sheathing your hands in a field of warped time, you can cause minute fractures to coalesce around any held [[warrior]] weapons. When attacking with these weapons, 1/6 of the attack will be converted to magic damage and there is a chance your target will suffer a [[timewarp]].

 

|description = Effect: For the next 5 rounds*, you will deal two random afflictions per round.<br><br>

Possible Afflictions: [[Confusion]], [[Stupidity]], [[Healthleech]], [[Disloyalty]] and [[Slickness]].<br><br>

This effect can only be maintained for 5 minutes without using it.

|skillname = TimeDilation

|syntax = TIMECHANT TIMEDILATION

|cost = Power: 5 (Matrix)

|description = You can slow time in an area for your enemies for 2 minutes.<br><br>

Effect: -2/-10 balance and equilibrium debuff in the room for personal enemies.

|skillname = Blink

|syntax = TIMECHANT Blink

|cost = Power: 1-10p (Matrix) (1p for every 3 rooms moved)

|description = You can walk in between time to appear where your target is. It will take just a second to compute the path needed and when you enter the room with your target, they will be hit with [[timewarp]]. If they leave the area, you will be unable to blink to them.

|syntax = TIMECHANT TIMEQUAKE<br>

|cost = Power: 10 (Matrix) (If untargeted)<br>

|description = By setting forth a timequake, you will kill all enemies in your location who are massively [[timewarp|time warped]]. Enemies suffering from a lesser timewarp will survive but will also be subject to [[Time Echoes|time echoes]].

|cost = Power:  10 (Matrix)

|description = Travelling through time sets up various different paradoxes. By using the paradox factor to your advantage, you can set up multiple timelines at once to build [[timewarp]] on all your enemies at once.<br><br>

Effect: When the target of the paradox is afflicted with [[timewarp]], every enemy of the caster within the room will also be afflicted by timewarp.<br>

Note - [[#Insight|insight]] will only consider each individual's spiritual afflictions, not the targets.
