Ability -

Retro causality -

D.S.F in certain conditions is able to act in retroactively.

Retro causality is when cause & effect happens in reverse order. D.S.F can make an effect happen before it's cause.

To understand retroactivity, you have to understand cause & effect.

For example:

Imagine holding a glass cup over the ground. If you drop it, it will hit the ground and then crack.

In this instance the cause is the cup dropping , and the effect is it cracking.

But if this happen retroactively, it would look bizarre from a normal perspective. The cup will start to cracked on its own, then the pieces of it hits the ground.

The cause is dropping cup and the effects is the cup cracking. But it happened in the opposite order, with it cracking first then hitting the ground.

Offers great combat benefit, it's difficult to defend against. Because how could you block an attack that technically already happened ?

Weakness -

Low durability & Range. More of a glass cannon.

One limitation, is to do an actions the cause needs to be feasible or possible. For an effect to happen, even retroactively the cause still needs to exist.

For example, you can't retroactively start a fire, if your environment is completely fire proof and you have no source of heat. Because the cause doesn't exist, the effect doesn't either .

Or you can't retroactively hit something, that is out of D.S.F phyical range.

Another limitation, is that you still feel the effects of the actions taken and you still spend energy on said actions.

For example if SDF punch something you still feel the effect of that punch, despite the fact that your fist didn't even move from place.

Things done retroactively takes up as much, or more energy that the natural way. Making D.S.F a real liability in prolonged combat.

Only work on one set of cause & effect at a time, must know what it is.
