Time element is an element associated with time. Magic of this element is called Time Magic, and most of it revolves around the manipulation of Time in some form. In a certain ~~scientific~~ RPG, Time element is called Stop for whatever reason.

So far Keiji has never thought about including a time element in any element systems. However, there is at least one system which includes it, which is that of Homestuck, which pairs it with Space element, another element he has never considered.

Most games that include time-based moves do not describe it as an element, as they either don't have element systems at all (e.g. Bunny Must Die) or they put it under some other element such as nature.

Known Time manipulators

Fake Arle
Bunny the Honeywhite
Sakuya Izayoi
Shadow the Hedgehog, with Chaos Control
Dave Strider and Aradia Megido, the Heroes of Time
Luxord
Master Xehanort (though he literally had to give an arm and a leg to obtain it)

 '''Time element''' is an [[element]] associated with [[time]]. Magic of this element is called ''Time Magic'', and most of it revolves around the manipulation of Time in some form. In [[a certain scientific railgun|a certain <s>scientific</s>]] [[Final Fantasy|RPG]], Time element is called ''Stop'' for whatever reason.
-Like the and holy dark element, it is often considered not a true element, and in a perfect world it would indeed not be, but many affinity systems have only one dimension (elements) rather than the two or three dimensions of elements and alignments, so they must fit in as elements. It would also be difficult to make a game with time based attacks without it.
