Timeroot

Radix temporalis

Flora - Magical
Timeroot is a universal species that grows at different rates in different locations, used in temporal magic research.

Physical 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.

Hazards and Toxicity

DANGER LEVEL: MODERATE

Improper handling can cause time slips, rapid aging, or temporal stasis. Roots may entangle and trap objects in time loops. Prolonged exposure can disrupt circadian rhythms.

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.
