** Phanes, described in the ''TabletopGame/EpicLevelHandbook'' supplement, are unwanted children of deities of time/destiny who look like black clouds of various shapes. They can travel back in time, summon a copy of themselves from the future, summon copies of their opponents from an alternate timeline, and freeze themselves or others in time and devour their future (which basically makes their victims grow old at an accelerated rate.)

*** The Time Trapper is able to age anyone he chooses (even to bones or ashes). He's capable of creating an "Iron Curtain of Time", a barrier which prevents time travel. He's also able to create a temporal force barrier which he uses to seal a time-traveling Superman off from the 20th century. On [[AlternateUniverse Earth-18]], he keeps available technology and culture 'stuck' as they were in the Wild West era, forcing the inhabitants to work around it, emulating modern-day developments with late 19th-century tech.

*** Wonder Woman literallly had a villain named "Time Master" in the silver age, who tried to kill her by repeatedly sending Wonder Woman to different points in the timeline. She only defeats him by displaying the [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands never before seen and rarely displayed after ability]] to [[IntangibleMan pass through solid objects by vibrating her molecules]], which [[MagicAIsMagicA shouldn't have worked]] due to her lacking a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers speed force connection]] like The Flash.

* ''TabletopGame/FabulaUltima'': The [[EntropyAndChaosMagic Entropist]]'s spell list contains two spells that manipulate time. One lets an ally take an extra action on their turn, while the other reduces the number of actions an enemy can take on its next turn. They also have a skill, Stolen Time, which lets them manipulate time to produce effects like curing/inflicting the slow status or letting another player take their next turn right now.

* ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'': Ying has the power to manipulate time, but it was initially mistaken for SuperSpeed, as she was running normally while time slowed down around her. However, it takes a lot of energy, so she's limited to [[HourOfPower a specified interval of use before it deactivates]]. [[spoiler:In the movie's climax, she temporarily gains an upgrade to reverse time as well.]]

Time magic is Blue's forte.


** The game has a select few cards that can, in fact, skip or repeat a player's turn. Some are guaranteed (being very powerful) and other are conditional ([[TwentyBearAsses doing something X number of times, for example]]) or left to straight-up chance, like flipping a coin. An example of one such card would be [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=96928&type=card Stitch In Time]], from the Ravnica Block.
