This spell is a part of theĀ Time RippleĀ spell chain and can be found in the Time Ripple rune stone.
The posteramancer sees it coming. That is the thing about looking into the future, you do not always get to see victories. Sometimes Fate shows you the moment just before everything goes wrong, the precise instant where the outcome was decided and decided badly. A lesser practitioner might simply accept what they have seen. The posteramancer finds this unacceptable.
Chrono Correction is the posteramancer reaching into that moment before failure and erasing it. Not undoing it for the failure has not yet happened, which is rather the point - but removing from time the attempt that was about to produce it. The action simply never occurred. No record of it remains. No action lost, no soul charged. The target stands exactly where they were before they tried, the failed attempt existing nowhere in history because Fate, through the posteramancer's intervention, declined to let it be written there. What this means practically is this:Ā when a target under the affects of Chrono Correction is about to fail a check, roll, skill use, or spell cast, that attempt is erased. The target may try again immediately, fresh, with no penalty and no memory of having tried before. Even Critical Failures (rolling a natural 1) are prevented by this spell.
What Chrono Correction cannot do, and this is what the posteramancer does not always mention when explaining the spell, is guarantee the second attempt succeeds. The odds are exactly the same. The same roll must be made. Fate offered a correction, not a certainty. The posteramancer who cast the spell watches the second attempt with the same confident expression they always wear, quietly hoping this time works out the way they saw it would, or rather, should.
