How does chronomancy work?
Warping the flow of time is actually a fascinating one in WoW.

"Chronomancy is the art of weaving time. Time magic is a young field of research. This discipline falls under the school of Transmutation, allowing the deceleration of events, the acceleration of events or the opening of temporal portals and the repairing of damaged timeways, among other possibilities.

Modifying divination magic with temporal magic can allow one to see across time."

Edit: Regarding the specific mechanics this is what WoWPedia notes;
"In all known realms of the cosmos, time flows forward, ever forward. Chaotic energies in places like the Twisting Nether can affect how quickly it flows, but it only flows forward.

Once an event happens, it cannot be changed. These events and choices, made up of all creatures and forces in the cosmos, join together like a river, sharing the same reality. Different choices and different possibilities naturally spin off the river of time like small creeks and estuaries, ebbing and flowing for a while. If these shades of what could have been are left alone, they will eventually dissipate into nothing. If efforts are made to preserve them (or alter them), they can indeed remain in existence indefinitely. They can even be made to feed back into the main river—dead creatures can seemingly “live again,” and the past (or future) may literally come back to haunt you. This is not a natural phenomenon, and the inhabitants of the main timeway will often find these experiences to be quite alarming.

But the only timeway that has a permanent effect on the cosmos is the main timeway. Creatures like the bronze dragons, who have command of temporal magic, can see all the countless tributaries of alternate universes and timelines, and they can even move back and forth along the stream to observe the past and the future.

If that main river is disrupted, it could spell doom and disaster. All life on Azeroth depends on time to flow ever forward. Without the surety that the sun will rise and set each day, the seasons would not pass, the cycle of life would become meaningless, and all living creatures would eventually die from being unable to sustain themselves. It is the most sacred mission of the bronze dragonflight to keep that from happening."

This one.
Engineers can make items that reverse the flow of time.

Reversing time to erase someone’s demise (but ironicly risk greater demise by doing so)

Exactly that, and its rules are very strict. It is also one of the strongest fields of magic and because of that, it requires a very strong mind to not become hungry for power. Those who use this magic to become infinite or to disrupt the purity of time shall be hunted down. It seems that Hungaro knows the rules, but we always have our eyes on him. Should he cross the limits… we know very well where to intercept him.

It’s a cool read. My mage sees labelling magic with schools and classifications as artificial constructs so I am sure he would enjoy reading this

There are several copies of the tome running through hands of Horde citizens or in the libraries of Orgrimmar, your char could probably stumble upon one.

Hey Hungaro, thank you for the time and dedication.

I would like to ask if you could maybe redit it again? Try and restructure your ideas and add commas where appropriate?

I am sorry if i sound petty but having it long and concerning “difficult” ideas makes it hard to read and these small differences means mountains.
I stopped trying after finishing the first page.

So if you can, please redit it as i would love to read it and i believe others will enjoy it more if it was easier. Or others can help with that if they got your idea and think they can restructure it better.
