==Personal Life==
Corvus should know a lot about time turners. He invented them. As the most powerful Chronomancer to ever live, it seems Corvus would be better known. But his lack of notoriety is of his own design. After inventing the time turners Corvus became frustrated with the Wizard’s Council’s interference into his research. They saw the potential, but they also saw the dangers. Corvus decided to set out on his own. Building a secret lab, he vanished without a trace, continuing his Chronomatic Arts out from under the ever watchful gaze of the Council. The ministry of Magic replaced the Council in the early 1700’s, and Corvus Slate, the Chronomancer Supreme, faded from memory.
He knew that going too far back in time was deadly, and realized repeated trips to the past simply made the chronomancer age more quickly than others. So he focused his efforts on creating a time turner which would allow the user to reduce their own age while retaining their memory: Eternal youth for the chronomancer. After years of meticulous study, in which he memorized almost every spell ever created, he succeeded.
But time is a harsher mistress than Corvus realized. At first everything seemed fine. He could use his new invention to de-age himself anytime he wanted. But slowly he began to realize the awful truth. If he attempted to use magic, he also lost his sight, and the more magical power he attempted to harness the longer and darker the blindness became. The most powerful Chronomancer on earth, master of the temporal flow, whose mere whim bends eternity, couldn’t cast a spell without losing his sight. He could see fine as long as he wasn’t using magic. Obviously, this is a secret he wished to keep hidden, and he eventually learn to fake sight while he was using magic to prevent from being discovered.
Since space and time are linked Chronomancers are all experts at teleportation.
