Time magic makes my head hurt.  Space magic, on the other hand...
Warp the space around you so that arrows go from flying towards your front to flying away from your back without crossing the space between.  By extension, anything you could do with a portal gun.
Implosions.  Explosions.
Teleportation.



Except time and space are a continuum, and therefore manipulation of one is the manipulation of the other. :P

Of course, given the (presumably) fluid nature of the future, it might be easier to see the Past. Not only do you get the super fun of solving ancient mysteries, finding buried treasure, and solving Big Questions about the origins of the world, universe, etc, but you ALSO have the perfect snooping tool! Want to find a criminal? Find out where he was one second ago. Don't know where that is? Backtrack until you hit a landmark. Heck, take the time to review his entire life so you can understand his motivations perfectly, and thus predict his future actions.

Fall on your swords while you can, Villainy, for I won't be as GENTLE!

Life manipulation I guess, could cover a fair bit, make myself immortal/nearly immortal.

Plus I could become rich by selling body improvement spells.

Not to mention I could suck the life out of my enemies.

Biomancy.

Create life as I desire, make a pet dog/octopus to play fetch with eight balls at once.
Create all manner of servile creatures to do my bidding.
Fix my genes so I don't have a connective tissue disorder.
Regenerate like a starfish after the assassins succeed.

Not only is it not actually advertising anything, it's just copy/pasting word salads about gold, runescape, oil, yuan, and handbags.  It's like a transporter accident combined all the spambots into one shambling mass of online sales.

I think I'll change my choice to whatevermancy.

I am definitely a prodigy at that.

I'll take 'all of the above and below' for ∞, please.


In other news, Fictionmancy.

Anything or anyone that does not adhere exactly to the real world, I can summon, command, and control. Say hello to the combined powers of every single fictional character, power, item, and pretty much everything created, thought of, or even slightly imagined, bitch.
Boundary magic? Sure. Tardis? Yes please. Spiral Energy? Hell yeah.

Yes this means I can write a short story and gain whatever is in there too.

Meh, the ability to write a good paper is magic enough for me. If everyone starts breaking the laws of physics what the hell am I going to do with my education?

Matter manipulation, and by this I mean bending and breaking the laws of the universe as I please, except time, you don't fuck with time, Hitler will always win, no matter what you do.

What I do want to mess with is the ability to bend light, make darkness solid, modify the atom itself at my will, turn a cubic mile of air into antimatter with the snap of my fingers, make myself superstrong, or superdense, turn my boots into rocket powered boots, make all the clothes in the world transparent, turn all that damn ice outside my window into gummy bears.

In short, I want fun stuff :D

That's what they want you to think. 3 complete revolutions of planet X from the end of WW2, Hitler will rise again and all will hail zombie Hitler! AHAHAHAHA!

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
