	The powers of Time are known as "jikuu," and allow those who use them to access time and space, twisting and bending them.

	When two forces clash, and an effect fails to affect a creature due to its inherent Force resistances, sparks are produced. These sparks are harmless in nature, but are produced by the clash of the nature of the Forces. The coloration of the sparks produced are dependent on the forces involved - for instance, a ''magic missile'' failing to hit a technologist would produce red and silver sparks.

The coloration of the sparks produced are dependent on the forces involved - for instance, a ''magic missile'' failing to hit a technologist would produce red and silver sparks.

	It is theorized that these sparks are produced due to an invisible, intangible field that surrounds a Force-user and Force-based items. The sparks are then like the splash that occurs when rain falls into a body of water. It is not known why the Forces have the colorations they do; that is simply the way of things. Due to this, some Force-users will specifically wear clothing that matches the color associated with their Force.

	Force Alignment is used to determine Force Resistance. A class with a single Force Alignment gains resistance to the other two Forces of that Force's Trinity equal to 5 + class level. A class with two Force Alignments gains resistance to the final force in that Trinity equal to 7 + class level.		Force Alignment is used to determine Force Resistance.

	A character only receives the initial bonus (that is, 5 or 7) once.

	==Void==		==Void==
	Few know the power of the void - it is the essence of non-existence. It opposes nature, as it seeks to destroy the world; it opposes divinity, as it seeks to undo creation. Void is the power of nonbeing, of nonthinking, and of nonexistence. Followers of the Void tend to be killed as soon as their nature is revealed, as it is recognized to be a powerful and dangerous force. However, even though it has few followers, void retains power, as there exist several places throughout the world where there are portals to this nonexistance.

			The Void emphasizes non-action. Through doing nothing, anything can be achieved. If one does not think about one is doing, then one does not consider the limitations put on oneself. Through non-action and a lack of thought, a practitioner of the Void becomes little more than a channel for the Void.

			To summarize: The Void does nothing and thinks nothing to achieve its ends.

	The world is a natural thing, and to be part of it is natural. Nature is the force of the world, of the universe; it upholds natural law, and seeks to gain power by drawing it from existence. Unlike divine, which is superificial, and the void, which seeks to destroy, nature holds mortals over all.		The world is a natural thing, and to be part of it is natural. Nature is the force of the world, of the universe; it upholds natural law, and seeks to gain power by drawing it from existence. Unlike divine, which is superificial, and the void, which seeks to destroy, nature holds mortals over all.

			Nature emphasizes the idea of letting things take their course, preferring only to take action in the most dire circumstances. Through letting things take their course, all things eventually come into balance, which is the preferred state of things from nature's viewpoint. Given this, most who utilize the force of Nature are calm and collected, preferring to let nature take its course than intervene directly.

			To summarize: Nature lets things take their course to achieve its ends.

	Divinity is a powerful force, and it is one that most fear out of awe and respect. Divinity is attained through worship - a being is not deific by nature, but made that way through the belief and faith of others. It is the nature of the divine to attempt to hold this faith, and as such, most beings of divinity are rather dogmatic, enforcing rules on their followers to ensure that they maintain their divine status.

			However, revering a divine being is not necessary for acquiring the power of the divine. There are some throughout the world who seem to have inherent powers that closely match those of clerics of the various deities. Whether this is a manifestation of the force, or these beings simply have some sort of "divine spark," is unknown.

			To summarize: The divine forces its will upon the world to achieve its ends.

	The Wandering force, should it exist, supposedly holds dominion over the other nine. Those who would call themselves Wanderers are said to be able to shrug off the powers of the other nine forces as a duck sheds water, are impossible to kill save by their own weapons, and can wield any ability of a force as though it were another - calling upon the void as though it were magic, for instance. Needless to say, any such being would be immensely powerful and nigh-impossible to destroy.		The Wandering force, should it exist, supposedly holds dominion over the other nine.
