Time Travel

Rules of Time Travel
In this explanation the terms...
 * Traveller refers to the wearer of The Amber Mask.
 * Companion refers to a living person / animal / plant.
 * Artefact refers to an inanimate object that may be carried by the Traveller
 * The Past refers to the moment in time the Traveller has travelled back to.
 * The Present refers to the moment when the Traveller uses The Amber Mask's powers.


 * 1) The Traveller can only travel within their own lifetime.
 * 2) The Traveller cannot, therefore, travel into the future.
 * 3) The Traveller can only travel back to a moment they remember clearly.
 * 4) The destination is determined by the Traveller's memory. A strong memory will always override a weaker memory. This is why Allie cannot return to before Vincent's death as the memory of Vincent lying dead on the floor is too strong.
 * 5) The Companion must have physical contact with the Traveller to travel in time.
 * 6) The Companion will be stranded if the Traveller returns to the Present without them.
 * 7) An Artefact can only be taken back to the Past if it actually existed at that time - so if the Traveller cooked a cake today and then tried to take it back to yesterday it would not appear in the Past.

Usage of Time Travel

 * 1) Allie's first experience of time travel is when she unwittingly travels back to the moment she witnessed her family dying in their house fire.
 * 2) Allie then uses the Amber Mask to travel back to her brother, Isaac's, birthday - the day before the fire.
 * 3) Allie uses her mask to travel back to the moments after she was raped by Benjamin Crowe when she kills him.
 * 4) Allie travels back to the time when she gave birth to her daughter, Ruby.

The Poltergeist Effect
Allie is able to summon extra power from the mask to enable her to interact with objects in the Past. She uses this in order to operate the Terminal in her dormitory and to slit the throat of Benjamin Crowe.
