"Manipulating time can be dangerous...
...it should not be attempted without care."
Sinia felt a ripple through the timeline, a disturbance eminating from the northern region of Tamriel. Acting quickly, she journeyed to the border of Skyrim and made her way across. After a brief encounter and misunderstanding with some Imperial soldiers, she found herself free once again, honing her skills and tracking down the source of the time disruption.

Special Moves
Timeless Ammunition
Slow Time, Telekinesis Arrows, Quick Shot, & Zephyr
Grounded dragons and paralyzed enemies are the perfect target for this deadly combo. The battlefield grows silent as time slows to a crawl, the Enforcer drawing her bow and releasing arrow after arrow, the projectiles being held in a warped space before her. As time resumes, the arrows are set loose, the barrage striking her enemy with overwhelming force.
Knight's Timeless Armor
Dragonhide, Sleeping Tree Sap, & The Lord Stone
Able to manipulate space time around her body, the Enforcer draws astral energies to herself, forming a protective shell and bolsting her defenses. This has the side effect of slowing her movement, but her durability should more than compensate.
Momentary Stasis
Paralysis Rune
Reaching out, the Enforcer lays a compressed surge of chronal energy at an enemy's feet, a burst soon engulfing them and locks them within a localized time warp. They will be unable to move for a short time.
Delayed Blast Time Bomb
Lightning Rune
Much like Momentary Stasis, the Enforcer can lay a compressed surge of astral enegy on the ground. When an enemy approaches, the energy rushes forth, releasing a deadly static charge that damages enemies and reduces their ability to use magic.
Astral Entity
Survivor (Potion), Become Ethereal, & Eternal Spirit
The ability to shift oneself into an alternate flow of time can come in quite handy. Especially when faced with powerful enemies that you are ill-prepared for. Take a moment, breath, regenerate your health and stamina. The battle is not yet over.
Wheel of Time (Accelerate)
Bonus Action (Potion) & Adrenaline Rush
The fight drags on, you need to replenish your energies to continue. Accelerate your own body, allow for your cells to regenerate and powers to return.
Wheel of Time (Surge)
Surge (Poison)
Your blade can now warp the space around a nearby enemy, inhibiting their movement and accelerating the deterioration of their cells. Few can survive. Ensure Keening is always coated with a sufficient dose of this time altering brew.
Supreme Chronomancy
Mass Paralysis
When facing overwhelming numbers, you can draw upon your mastery of time to freeze all those around you at once. But be careful, you will be vulnerable while preparing this spell. Ensure you're well rooted and ready to face the onslaught.
Astral Guardian
Summon Arniel's Shade
Reach into the astral plane, drawing forth the form of a being that does not belong to this timeline. Their bind to this world is unstable and will not last long, but they will aid you while they remain.
Roleplaying
Home
Protecting the timeways can be quite taxing, the Enforcer will need a home to relax and resupply, somewhere she can maintain her gear and brew the potions required to uphold her duties. Seek out the lost Dwemer worshop and foundry, Nchuanthumz, ensuring the subterranian lair is fully repaired and operational.
Beginning
Upon arrival in Skyrim, seek out the Jarl of Whiterun to report the dragon attack, the reappearance of an ancient enemy cannot be ignored. Upon discovering that you are Dragonborn, you'll want to pay the Greybeards a visit upon their mountain and learn more about your gift. Soon you'll become tangled up in the schemes of a crude Breton who will need your assistance slaying a dragon. Next, you must infiltrate the Thalmore Embassy, but the party is not for a few months and it's best that you hone your skills and investigate other disruptions in the meantime. All the while, you'll want to be collecting Dwarven Ingots, Iron Ingots, Amethysts, Soul Gems, Salt Piles, & other alchemy reagents for grinding up your crafting skills later.
Gear
Next you'll want to focus on obtaining the gear you will need to uphold your duty as an Enforcer of Time. Clues lie throughout Skyrim pointing you toward powerful artifacts, ancient mysteries, and trouble that's in need of solving. Before venturing north to the College of Winterhold, you will want to have your armor, Zephyr, two pieces of The Gauldur Amulet, the majority of your shouts, and recruited Illia from Darklight Tower.
Middle Game
The College of Winterhold, Lost to the Ages, and Arniel's Endeavor will be your next focus. These quests have a lot of roleplaying moments where you will encounter mages capable of manipulating the flow of time and investigating ancient Dwemer creations that seem to be immune to the aging effects of time. Once completed with these questlines, you'll want to start grinding your crafting skills, remember to have all of your experience buffs active.
Awakening
You are now a fully realized Enforcer of Time, able to freely manipulate the flow of time around yourself and enemies. Freezing your enemies in a localized time warp that prevents them from taking action, halting arrows in mid air before releasing them in a sudden barage, shifting yourself into an alternate timeline as a saving throw when in danger, encacing yourself in your own time warp to protect yourself by interfering with weapons & spells, condense energies into a time bomb that will detonate upon contact with an enemy, and draw an ally from the Astral Plane to fight alongside you. Crafting Telekinesis Arrows requires 2 Void Salts & 1 Firewood. Void Salts can be crafted at the Atronach Forge for 1 Amethyst, 1 Soul Gem, & 1 Salt Pile.
End Game
Upon further investigation into the reappearance of the dragons, you discover that Alduin, the World Eater, was sent foward by ancient Nords into the current timeline. This disturbance cannot stand and must become your primary focus. The flow of time is in jeapardy and you are the only one who can preserve the balance.
