Sorcerer

Sorcerers are powerful casters who directly manipulate the structure of reality. They bend space and time, move objects with their mind, and conjure objects out of nowhere. Sorcerers are especially known for their command of teleportation magic, as the most powerful sorcerers can cross entire continents in an instant.

Sorcerer talents include a variety of effects related to manipulating reality. Some of these talents act as direct attacks or defenses through telekinesis. Others warp time to apply unique buffs or debuffs to other creatures. Sorcerer ribbons give them minor utility effects related to their control over space and time.

Examples of sorcerers in fiction include Dr. Strange from Marvel Comics, the Green Lanterns from DC Comics, and most fictional reality manipulators or grand wizards.

If you know a Retroactive power, you activate it as an in-character decision instead of an out-of-character decision, as you are aware that you are manipulating the timeline.
