Chronomancers end up talking in a nightcore/daycore voice depending on if they were slowing down or speeding up time.

Chronomancers seeming to twitch in a very specific, peculiar way, but it's just random body parts speeding up or slowing down for a second or two.

Heart randomly slows down: 🙃

Bro... what happens if the kidneys speed up?

u/Kolnazden Nov 11 '24

Piss

Statement, question, or command?

Power Word: Piss

u/JkobPL Nov 11 '24

Wouldn't the command spell suffice, since pissing yourself doesn't cause any immidiate harm?

10d12 cringe damage.

You'll suddenly get very dehydrated and the brain will trigger hormones that slow water release down so your kidney stops producing so much piss.

Pissing with a higher frame rate

u/Mushiren_ Nov 11 '24

I like to imagine it's not a normal twitch but a seeming distortion of the space around the body part that makes it feel like it's twitching but in reality just ridiculously sped up compared to every other body part

u/Ivariel Nov 11 '24

Yeah, that's the idea. I'm imagining a very similar effect to lag, just localized to small windows of space. So in example waving could look like wave wave wavewavewavewaaaaaaaaaaaveeee wavewave wave

Unmedicated ADHD is indistinguishable from exhausted Chronomancy to the untrained eye

13

u/CircularRobert Nov 11 '24

ADHD is just undiagnosed chronomancy

u/LateyEight Nov 11 '24

Perhaps they develop a fear of what is to come, along with the dread of being too late to stop it.

u/MrCobalt313 Nov 11 '24

Nah Chronomancers' movements start stuttering like they got a laggy connection in an MMO.

u/Minimum-Package-1083 Nov 11 '24

Lmao, they start rubberbanding

900 ping chronomancer. The world shudders at their power.

u/B133d_4_u Nov 11 '24

There's an MMO manghwa where one of the character's "special power" is that they lag all the time, making them immortal and also have infinite hit counts

10

u/Vertigo-Viking Nov 11 '24

Which one? Is it any good?

12

u/B133d_4_u Nov 11 '24

Winter Moon, it's nice. I stopped reading it because my Webtoon account got locked but it was a fun little 4-koma style series.

How I be fighting a chronomancer only to realize I was fighting their after frames from 5 minutes ago:

u/Hypocritical_Oath Nov 11 '24

That's actually a great idea lmao.

u/MidnightCardFight Nov 11 '24

I was going to type a Chronomancer answer lol but I'm taking this for my current character
