Time, or more specifically time magic, is a specialized branch of arcane and divine spellcasting, grants practitioners the ability to manipulate the flow of time. With this magic, they can glimpse into the past or future, speed up or slow down time's passage (such as with the spells haste and slow), and even traverse different points in history. The spells and rituals for time manipulation vary in complexity and potency, but they all draw on the mysterious energies that shape reality.
However, the study of time magic comes with warnings and cautionary tales.
Tampering with the past or future can lead to unintended consequences, creating time paradoxes and alternate timelines. The ripple effect caused by altering events can have far-reaching implications, disrupting the natural order of cause and effect. Time mages must exercise great care and foresight in their endeavors. The understanding of time and time magic is not uniform across the multiverse. Different planes and realms may experience time differently, with some worlds having more fluid or nonlinear temporal flows. In Limbo, for instance, time is ever-changing and chaotic, defying easy comprehension. Deities and powerful beings also hold sway over time. Time deities, such as Istus, the Lady of Fate, are revered by those who seek to understand the intricacies of time. Temples dedicated to these gods offer insights into time's mysteries and may harbor ancient tomes filled with arcane knowledge.
As to explain what had actually happened, it's only a start. From where Fyne comes from, the Netherese dabbled in it mostly with powerful and equally horrifying results. Of course, the Netherese were all but destroyed and the remnants scattered into the winds, holding a fraction of their power. Still, considering how old this library here is, it may bear some fruit to look into them a little.
