Chronomancy is divination of the best time to do something, the determination of lucky and unlucky days, especially popular in ancient China.[1]
The term "chronomancy", stemming from the Greek word chronos (meaning time), and the word manteia (meaning divination) is also used in fiction to refer to a school of magic involving supernatural manipulation of time.
Role in modern fantasy[edit]
