Chronomancer's Spell Book
"Chronomancy is the art of telling ones fortune with a Onion." ~Baulderdash the Game.

"You’ve just acquired some rather valuable loot and decide to hide it in a place to keep it safe for a while. This place has to both hidden and safe from prying eyes at all times. Ah-ha! Upon finding the prefect place you find a spell book already in it. You open up the dusty old tome and find that the book has been penned by someone with the same name as yourself. It appears to be a book of spells. Spells that manipulate time."~
So this is my attempt to create a list of all time related spells, or at least spells that are very Time-shifting flavoured. Why? I thought I already answered that? Or did I do that yesterday…? I’m having a little trouble pinning every chrono-spell down so I turn to the playground:
D&D 3.5 / Pathfinder Spells, Powers, Incantations, Soulmelds, anything:
Avoiding homebrew, because otherwise I'd just make what I wanted.
I’ll get the ball rolling**
