TBH I wasn't suggesting using it in-game, at all. That's a can of worms I do NOT want to open. haha!
I was more curious about what the dimensions of time travel would be in a wheel of time universe as opposed to what we currently believe is our own.
I think the idea of time travel forcing a sudden emergence of an alternate-reality mirror world has legs. Getting back to your own "real" world would then be a matter of traveling between mirror worlds, which would obviously be quite difficult.
I don't think tel'aran'rhiod would be the key. Agreed there.
You know how Saidar and Saidin differ in the construction of Gateways? Perhaps you could warp the pattern in a way that forces it to shift "on the loom" so to say? Assuming the "loom" is the current time point, going backward would probably be easier than forward, into something that hasn't been woven yet. Then, if you did that, the concept of Rand in the columns, where he saw the past but was not able to interact with it, might be the result.
I think my eyes just glazed over....![[Image: 14.png]](http://b3.ifrm.com/static/emo/14.png)
