[Overcome] the Past

An ability that can only be described as a “miracle.”

Using her powers over time, Bloom can open the way to the Past and use this window in various ways.

A great deal of preparation is required before the Past can be accessed, and the amount needed is analogous to the significance of what is being done. To access a piece of information, a scrap of paper, or a trinket will take a mere month. An artifact or a person, however, requires perhaps many months or even years of understanding the context of the Past, setting Temporal Anchors, and other such precautions. At times it may seem as though the ability is not worth the effort worth ensuring its success. Every piece of the puzzle must be placed before the last can be miraculously found by [Overcome] the Past. But it is assuredly something that couldn’t be found under any normal circumstances.

Such an ability might more haphazardly be named “Change the Past.” But that is neither true to the ability’s nature, nor reality.

The Past is not within the rights of those living in the Present. It is merely something to be accessed and used in order to inform decisions that may shape the Future. It may not be easy. It may force us to contend with truths we may not wish to acknowledge. It may even require us to change.

But that is what it means to [Overcome].
