Timeroot
Radix temporalis
Flora - MagicalPhysical Characteristics
Timeroot can be found in various locations, with growth rates that vary depending on local magical fields. Its roots are thick and gnarled, often forming spirals or knots that seem to defy normal time.
Primary Uses
Used in temporal magic research, time manipulation rituals, and as a reagent in longevity potions. Its unique properties make it valuable for experiments involving magical time flow.

Seasonal Risks
- Spring: Rapid growth and time anomalies
- Summer: Maximum temporal energy
- Autumn: Roots become dormant, but time effects linger
- Winter: Temporal stasis risk increases
Safe Handling Protocols
Temporal anchors and time wards required. Avoid direct root contact. Use timekeeping charms and monitor for time anomalies. Emergency reversal spells should be available.
