This spell, as proposed here, allows the wizard to turn back the hands of time when successfully attacked physically. The Temporal Reversion effect returns the wizard to the moment before the initial attack better prepared to meet a potentially powerful, incoming assault. In practical application, this means first attack will not "count" and the creature will have to take a second attack roll at the wizard. Meanwhile the wizard automatically experiences a +200 DS boost and a dramatically heightened ability to defend against critter-based maneuver attacks when encountering this second try. |

Temporal Reversion has a chance to activate upon a failed defense against a physical attack (melee, bolt, and maneuver). A successful activation will 'snap' the wizard back in time to immediately before the attack occurred and, having knowledge of the oncoming blow, grants the wizard an increase of +200 to their generic defensive strength (DS) as well as a comparable increase in maneuver defense. The base chance for this to occur is 10%, and can be increased by training in Elemental Mana Control.
