"This much, Lianna may have told you already. What Lianna could not tell you is the way that working with time magic affects the way your own magic functions. If you work with time—if you shape it, channel it, freeze it—then you will find your relationship to time changing. You will feel yourself less connected to time, less aware of time passing. In your case, perhaps you will also feel your other ability changing. You may be able to see events in the past or the future, in addition to seeing places in the present. If you are overly enthusiastic—and overly careless—in your pursuit of time magic, then you might lose your ability to discern the past from present or future. That is not a difficulty that has afflicted me, of course," Josephine adds, with another small smile. "Time is already frozen here, so it does not make any difference."
She raises one slim, elegant hand and flicks it toward you in a gesture like you've seen the Queen make on TV. "Go on. You may attempt to sense the magic, if you wish."
