Time Loop

A time loop is the name given to a period of time which infinitely repeats itself until an event occurs that can stop the loop. Time Loops will continue indefinitely with those trapped inside not aging and not noticing the repeat pattern. However, the person who created or caused the loop will be aware.

Beings with psychic powers, such as precognitive witches, are sensitive to Time Loops, and are likely to become aware of a loop. This awareness usually results in a Déjà Vu-effect where they recognize the pattern.

The demonic sorcerer Tempus had the power of Chronokinesis, allowing him to manipulate time and create Time Loops. Presumably all beings who possess the power could potentially create loops. A great injustice can also cause a Time Loop, where good souls can remain trapped because of an evil soul. If all souls within the loop are unaware of its presence, an outside third party will be needed to break the loop in order to change the events of the loop and correct the injustice.

Time Loops

 * A Time Loop is a period of time that repeats itself over
 * and over again ad infinitum. Sometimes a Loop is
 * localized to a specfic plane or ground, but at other
 * times a Loop's effects can be felt globally. A few magical
 * beings are powerful enough to create Time Loops such as
 * Tempus, the Devil's Sorcerer. But the causes of a Loop can
 * also be more Cosmic. For example, certain spiritual
 * traditions believe that a great Evil or great injustice can be
 * cursed into a Time Loop until righted. Once the evil has been
 * eliminated or the injustice has been corrected, Time will
 * stop repeating itself and again move forward for those who
 * were trapped in the Loop.
