Aeonics grants [[Depthswalkers]] a degree of control over the flow of [[time]]. Originally practiced by the ancient Tsol'teth Overlord [[Agith'maal]], it was deemed too dangerous even by the standards of the current generation of the [[Tsol'teth]] race and placed upon the short list of arts forbidden. However, not all of Agith'maal's descendents were so cautious. Parni deSangre, destroyer of once-great Seleucar taught an apprentice; and when she was hunted down and slain by the Tsol'teth warrior Agith'tai for her perceived threat, he granted Sapience knowledge of the art. Whether out of spite or duty, it is still unknown. Practitioners of this skill specialise in modifications to localised time, both their own and that of others. It is whispered that the truly great may turn aside the greatest enemy of all: death. | Aeonics grants [[Depthswalkers]] a degree of control over the flow of [[time]].
