Identity
Chronomancer is Sorceress's time-control Ascendancy: it resets and removes skill cooldowns, mitigates incoming damage by delaying and reducing it, and freezes or slows enemies outright. It's the most defensively-minded of Sorceress's three Ascendancies, trading direct damage scaling for control and survivability.

Practical notes
- Now and Again's current effect (Echo/Repeat chances) only matters for skills that are themselves Cascadable or Repeatable — it does nothing for a skill that's neither, unlike its old cooldown-skipping effect which applied universally. Worth checking your specific skills' tags before counting on this notable.
- Quicksand Hourglass's Sands of Time buff is a smooth ramp, not a flat toggle — Skill Speed and Area of Effect trade off against each other continuously over the 10-second cycle rather than switching on and off.
- Phased Form converts incoming damage into a delayed, discounted form rather than preventing it outright — useful to know if you're stacking damage mitigation and want to understand what's actually being prevented versus just deferred.
