Providence

#1 Post by Tom »

Hello.

I love getting this talent (Providence) from the Escort tasks.

But during my adventures I have noticed, at least it seems so, there are a few negative effects that are not removed by this talent.
Any tip on what kind of effects are not removed?

"other" and "time" both of which are basically game breaking stuff that shouldn't be cleared, extended, etc.

Of the chronomancy spells very few use the "time" flag, most just use magic. Stuff like Borrowed Time, Damage Smearing, and Paradox Clone all use 'time'. Clearing the bad parts of these effects with a Providence spell would basically be getting the bonuses these spells provide without any of the built in drawbacks.

I'm not 100% positive but I am pretty sure that there's no time or other effect that isn't self inflicted and if there is it's probably some plot thing that's meant to be unavoidable.

Also, as time has gone on more spells that had a blanket effect (Timeless for example) have come to include time and other as exceptions. There's some stuff that's just not meant to be cleared or amplified.
