Applications[]

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.
