Spellbinding...
Also known as: Guardian
An emotionless, non-sapient spell construct designed by the Maker to manage the time loop and interface with the Controller.
Placidly floats in the void and emotionlessly answers the boys' questions, explaining the rules regarding loop duration, copies, markers, and the loop's degrading power supply.
“That is the job of whoever placed the marker on you. And by temporary, I mean that the target of the lesser marker will retain their memories and abilities for up to six iterations before the marker dissolves.”
“But it is not the Gate that does it, so it is acceptable. It is up to the Controller to decide when and if they feel comfortable using such an ability.”
“Unfortunately, something seems to have gone wrong and the time loop has been activated one month prior to it. This made everything more costly, causing the time loop to degrade far more rapidly than it is supposed to.”
“If you present all five pieces, you will gain sufficient authorization to reopen the gate.”
