(it took me a minute to realize what "sakitic" meant okay)

Maybe it's hard to explain. Time Runners are allowed to travel through time, with assistance for the Lessers and alone for the Greaters. They're allowed to watch things play out and interfere in small ways in order to make time happen the way they want, but they're not allowed to completely change time, because that would be kind of really terrible. Theoretically, they should be allowed to access both the past and the future.

Does that make any sense? It might get less confusing once I get to a character's first time run in the story.
