Time Temporal

*“It can bring us anywhere, at any time, in any realm... It sure is incredible, isn't it?”*

— Bamos introducing the Time Temporal to the Ninja

### Effects

Time TravelRealm Traversion

**The Time Temporal** is a magical item in the world of Ogaji that has the ability to traverse time and realms.

It was first introduced in *The Light Knight*when Bamos used it to conjure an army from the future, but it's first technical use in the series was to bring Zane Julien (Ninjago Earth-14) to Ogaji.

Rules of realm traversing and time travel to not apply to the Time Temporal, as it can bring you anywhere, any realm or any timeline. The only realms that the Time Temporal can not lead to are the Departed Realm, and the Sacred Realm.

There is only one Time Temporal that exists in every timeline or realm, and it is located in the Prime Multiverse of Ogaji (Earth-2.)

## Design

It was forged using three Periodic Stone slates created from the Time Crystal, one of the Infinity Crystals. The slates were grouped in two, then merged together with a Clearstone center to balance it.

Each slate possesses an ability that the Time Temporal possesses.

The first group encompasses the basic abilities:

* **Basic time travel**: Allows the user to travel from past to future in their own universe
* **Basic Realm travel:** Allows the user to travel between each realm in their own timeline

The second group allows more specific transport:

* **Timeline traversing:** Allows the user to be transported into different multiverses within their own realm.
* **Multiverses traversing:** Allows the user to be transported to the multiverses of different Realms.

A defect in it's design also allows for the importing of items/ people from other dimensions/ multiverses.

When the user touches the device, they make a wish, and it is interpreted by stealing someone from another realm or timeline and bringing them to the user. It has happened on multiple occasions in Legends of Ogaji. It is how Zane, Kai, Jay, and Cole were able to come and join Team Waters at different points in time.

## History

### Creation

It is unknown when it was created, but it was forged along with the Temple of Time by the God of Time. It is said that he transferred his powers to it so that mortals may have a sense of his abilities.

It was placed in the Temple of Time, as well as given a curse that allows it to reform whenever it is destroyed.

## Notes

* The name Time Temporal literally means "time time" due to the word temporal being a synonym of time.
	+ The term temporal was added to the name originally just because it sounded cool, it wasn't until later that I realized that the word temporal actually had to do with time.
