Banachronation

Banachronations are a class of timesorc'ley that allow Chronosorcellors to send themselves backwards through the streams of time. Banachronation is known for its vast potential power and its rigid consistency in failing to have any lasting consequence whatsoever.

The reason for banachronations' complete and total inconsequence is a matter of no small controversy. The prevailing theory, currently believed to have been proposed by Master Chronosorcellor Fyar Duliec (who may soon/already has usurp(ed) Yar the Sorcerial's place as progenitor of timesorc'ley), states that a Chronosorcellor may only banachronate in order to attempt to nullify the affects of another Chronosorcellor's banachronation. The second banachronating Sorcellor's effects on the time stream entirely cancels out the effects of the first. Until recently, views were also divided on the source of the original banachronation, which, it was presumed, was performed without cancelling out the effect of another. This idea was largely disspelled when Fyar Duliec claimed that the Byar-Coynkadence conjecture was going to be proved true. Roughly, this conjecture postulated that there was never an original banachronation, and that all banachronations are in response to another banachronation. Presumably, series of banachronations form into 'closed simply connected smooth manifold-countours' in which each person in the loop nullifies the banachronation of the person next in the loop, who nullifies the next person's effects, and so on and so forth until the 'last' person nullifies the banachronation of the 'first', thus completely nullifying the effects of every banachronation within the loop.

Much of this information is revealed in Book 11 when the Chronoclave, secretly spurred on by Fyar Duliec, detains Yar the Sorcerial (later retconned to be one of his Chronoclones).

Banachronation was also a card in the Collectable Card Game.
