--- Quote ---Meh, I mean Drakul is Mab level.  Opening the portal to the void between realities seems fine to me power-wise, then Chandler using his own magic to get to somewhere somewhat familiar.

I can see this, I also think Chandler has been doing some time travel on the side.

or he will soon, already has/had? Getting the tense right with TT is impossible lol

morriswalters:
If you can travel to your future, it's predestination and you have no free will.

Travel to the past and it's in past tense since you have, by definition, already done it.

In the multiverse where there is free will, the timeline branches as each choice is made.  If you go back and change something then your create a new future, a branch, but you have to remain in the branch you started from because there is another you in that new branch.

These aren't my rules for time travel, they are Jim's, fed to you by Bob and Vadderung. However Bob abuses the truth when he speaks, so be careful.

As usual YMMV.

However while it seems clear cut, it isn't.  Remember in Cold Days and Harry had to figure out just when the attack on Demonreach was going to happen, except it might have already happened? Merlin made the prison in five different dimensions at the same time. 

So a couple of things with Chandler;  He's figured that bit out as well, so he warnings to Harry in Peace Talks were Harry's future but Chandler's past, nothing violated..

Or;  Back the Cold Days, the Outsiders have no problem with time travel, that is why their attack on Demonreach was so dangerous, from what time or dimension were they going to do it.. Oh man, Chandler is infected with Nemesis, can travel through time and is a trap for Harry.

I imagine Chandler's power to be a lot like Alex Verus.
