essentially it works like normal magic, you gotta hit something with it for it to be affected by time, and its projectivles are generally as fast as fire or atleast slower than plasma
time also has drawback where it essentially burns your body till you overuse and die, you can do things like reverse, stop, slow and speed up time, auras are probably the most versatile of em all
as speed aura in time lets you speed up, defense aura makes any attack going at you slow down, power aura is a given but destructive aura gives you foresight, the caviat is you can only see what happens to you a moment into the future, you cant see too far nor can you see other’s futures
It sends you back in time to relive every embarrassing memory that kept you awake at night then gives you a big ole smooch
time travel is too overpowered so i generally just dont let it do that 
I always had idea that if time magic was in ao, every time you use it you would loose health, but its status effect would be somth like “rewind” where the persons max health would slowly go down when you hit them
generally i dont think time would really hurt someone
the only reason mine would is because its more heat based, but even then Henry ever only uses it to help him in situations, it aint something viable alone, so he mostly uses light
Time would hurt someone if it keeps rewinding them. Loosing max hp
technically what you’re saying is rewinding them which would make them younger, this is just me using the simple magic system with the added part being that its a chronos gifted ability, the more you use time the more energy he takes from you
although when he’s defeated the drawback of burning is still there albeit less severe, again this is just my own take on time magic and burning your body up to the point you could nearly die is big enough drawback
especially since this magic sucks ass on it’s own, it works best when you use it as utility especially since it works like the magic circles system, thus making it only do beams, blasts, auras and any other spell
my au is by no means canon, both abyss and my current storyline atleast
