Variations[]
Associations[]
Limitations[]
- May only be able to rewind time a certain amount (ex: User can only rewind time by a few seconds). May forget after rewinding causing an endless loop.
- May not be able to rewind beyond the point of birth.
- May require energy. The further you go, the more energy you may need.
- Continuous use or lack of proper control may drive the user insane.
- Users of Temporal Protection or Probability Perception will notice time rewinding and try a different approach.
- May need to set a "checkpoint" ahead of time to return to.
- May be unable to return to their original time and must re-live the timeline up until they get to the time period in which they originally left.
- Doesn't affect Temporal Immunity users.
- Certain events, no matter how hard the user tries to undo them, can still happen as a fixed point in time which results in them being stuck in a predestination paradox.
