Time Magic

Time Magic , also known as Time, and Time Magick, is a recurring skill set and and type of Magic in the Final Fantasy series. It is a form of magic that bends the laws of time and space, and it is mainly a supportive school of magic, in contrast to Black Magic, which focuses on dealing damage, and White Magic, which focuses on healing.
In titles that feature the job system, Time Magic is the specialty of the Time Mage. In games where this category is not present, its spells are often divided between White Magic and Black Magic.
In the Tactics games the Japanese name of the ability is as opposed to "Time and Space" used in all other instances in Japanese. Despite the different name, the same types of abilities appear.
