[quote=Ellri] Interesting concept. How is it balanced out? What are the disadvantages? How is it "fueled"?just noting down listed abilities:Predict futureAging non-animate objects rapidly to point of disintegrationTurning back time on some objectsShort-term time stopsThe aging one seems the one with greatest potential for being overpowered. It needs some means of limiting itself. Perhaps related to how the relic is "fueled"?Also, the short-term time stop doesn't entirely make sense. Perhaps replace it with something about him tweaking time to seemingly blink across greater distances, but keeping the limiter of once every days at best. [/quote] Alright. Essentially, you know that aging effect he has on things around him? That's the Eye drawing in local time to fuel itself. From exhaustion (the hand on 12 and dull), it can fully fuel itself in 12 days (the hand on 12 and glowing gold.) He can accelerate the drain for an emergency charge, but the discrepancy between the charge he gains and the time drawn from local objects increases massively - his armour and weapons would just disintegrate from age. Thus, the aging of something is actually simply discharging time from the Eye into other objects en masse. This has to do with W=J/s, - the same amount of chronal energy hits harder when introduced in a smaller timeframe. Disintegrating a single arrow would take up perhaps a quarter of an hour's time, a siege bolt two hours, a stone from a trebuchet half a day and so on for larger objects. The reason people are resistant to this is that their Spirit naturally compensates for temporal flux - the expressions 'killing time', 'the time flew by' and 'it seems like only yesterday' are far more literal than anyone thinks. The time stop thing doesn't seem illogical to me. What it's really doing is projecting Raxas outside the timestream. To him, it seems like time has stopped, but really he's just in a little loop off to the side of the main timeline. And this is also key to its function - the very presence of the Eye affects time in a fundamental manner, the way it manipulates it causing tangles in the timeline. When an external loop is created, it's due to the Eye unlocking the snarl of time that its presence has created in such a way that the threads of the timeline snap back into place, creating a temporary surge of chronal energy that fuels the external loop. This means that, contrary to what the Kalesians think, it would be a very bad idea to go for a whole year without discharging the Eye's time stop function - wait too long and the timeline can be irreversibly altered and damaged.
