Limitations[]

  • Can lead to devastating repercussions. For instance, in the Pendragon series: preventing the Hindenburg from exploding leads to unforeseen events where the airship's survival enables Germany to uncover the clandestinely introduced plans of the Manhattan Project on board. This discovery paves the way for the development of nuclear weaponry, enabling Germany to win World War II, albeit at the cost of millions of lives for every hundred saved.
  • Alterations may fade after death.
  • May be unable to change the present. If so, user cannot change the past in a way that would negate their present and/or cause a time paradox.
