Personally cast lung cancer on them, if they freak out I know they're an imposter, the real me would know I already have that. Actually would work for anyone just bluff and say you cast it, they'll only know if you're lying if they are you
Unless they pull a sol badguy (guilty gear protaganist) who went back in time saw his past self killed and just didn't wink out of existence or create a paradox
So could it be possible you becoming a demon is because of them? Or maybe the gods you spend time with that are practically embodiments of certain sins
/uw ah it's a joke because I'm dumb and now have Earl as an arch nemesis at the behest of the voice in my characters head. If it weren't for gods he'd be psychotic
*a Spell triggers as Pastnir approaches, conjuring a mirrored surface in front of his face*
Ooh! It worked! A lot what you say is pure projection, so I thought I'd reflect it back where it belongs.
Pastnir: *smirking at the mirrored surface* Oh, a mirrored spell. Cute trick. Reflecting my words back at me? That's rich coming from someone who thinks they can psychoanalyze me with a parlor trick.
Pastnir: Touch grass? Get laid? Is that your idea of a comeback? Keep hiding behind your spells and mirrors, Nya. Cause it's clear your words aren't your strong suit.
Repnir, what *do* I even say to you? I wish I understood exactly what made your counterpart get his head out of his ass, but those thought processes are not mine to know. I'm sorry you do this to yourself, Sweetheart. I've seen the guilt in Repnir's eyes when he thinks back to when he was you. Please... just stop doing this to yourself.
Count to three then say something off the wall. If they are you, they will remember the interaction from their past and know that you're seeing if they will say the same thing at the same time and do it. If they perfectly copy you, they're you.
Here's a DNA tracker put a bit of blood,flesh,spit or hair in it and I'll track all sources of the DNA if it has 2 blips means there's 2 yous (or a clone) this should help you prove it's you
How could I be sure I'd have the willpower to never upgrade? (Also, what if it \*is\* an evil wizard? Cutting my hand off just gives me a major disadvantage in combat
I beat his ass till he was forced to go back. And yes I won, because future me can't kill me lest he causes a paradox. And yes I had to specifically jump into every deadly attack.
Pastnir: Yeah, well, turns out my future self is a warlock, crippled, consorts with mages, left our master, and wields a wand... I wanna go back to my time...
Ask them questions that only you should know the answer to. Make sure to ward against mental probing.
Then ask them why they’d seek you out. Chances are it’s either very important if they’re risking a paradox, they’re a highly skilled Chronomancer capable of warding off the ensuing paradox, or lying about their status.
I have a lot of experience in the field from both sides of the situation and would happily take the role of mediator and consultant should you wish to hire me.
If they’re really me from the future, I’d think something and see if they can guess it. An occasion as momentous as this would warrant for me to remember.
The Library prevents this. There is a Librarian who IS. Not WAS, not WILL BE, just IS. Anyone claiming the opposite is lying and will be asked to prove this, to their own detriment.
It’s easily verifiable: Dispel every magical effect on them then decapitate them. If they still look like me and survive, they’re me. If they don’t, problem solved.

We usually don't interact a lot due to the fact that I hate myself, so whenever I have to visit my past/welcome my future, it's under some dire circumstances, so we always start with the problem right off the bat
Obviously, just fire a venom shot at them, if they do anything, they're an impostor. If they're actually me, they'd know I'd throw it and just wait for me to pill it back...
...What's a cutemancer
Unfortunately I can't really help. Due to circumstances it is impossible for me to encounter a past or future version of myself so if someone tried to tell me they were my future I would know they were lying on the spot
If I really need to be sure, cast Mindlink! Short of completely fabricated identical memories, which is nigh impossible, they would have to be me. Though it would likely be pretty apparent that they're me just by looks and behavior. What would be a real mind bender would be if they were a future version of my mirror image. That would get... strange.
I'd give them an eyebrow raise and ask "How, in all the realms, did you manage to make an ice spell that can reverse time?" and if their answer is satisfactory, go from there.
They probably are, if we can stretch our illusions to appear in the past to change current reality, it wouldn't be a stretch to just send an illusion of yourself to the past. It all depends on what they tell me, if they tell me not to kill my uncle then they're fake and it is a trap made by another wizard.

Royce Du Pont gambit: see how much they beg if you threaten your own life. That tends to prove whether or not they're really you
Ask them to prove it by telling you what you have grasped in your hand in your pocket. It's a question out of left field, yet a very pivotal one -- after all, it would be the moment that proved to them that they met their future self. They should know what the object is, given how memorable the moment would have been to them in the past. If they don't know, they're a fraud.
Personally cast lung cancer on them, if they freak out I know they're an imposter, the real me would know I already have that. Actually would work for anyone just bluff and say you cast it, they'll only know if you're lying if they are you
Doesn’t work on people who don’t have the cells required to have cancer
Oh don't worry I'll get to them soon enough
Learn a non-cancer spell, bozo.
Fine fine https://preview.redd.it/l1236x83p57d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfcef46dc4daa9395c7f3f793d2fddbe5afe33f3 Get lunged bozo
*(Lungs despawn as soon as they appear)* Shapeshifters, son, can’t cry over every mistake!
What do you do against people who can detect and remove their own cancer on a whim
kill your self this will cause them to have never met you as they died, thus causing you to come back to life or fireball
Doesn’t work in some times. I was so close to making that pun work, the point still stands though, only works in some timelines.
....
IT WILL WORK TRUST ME and if it doesn’t i will resurrect you… sorta… kinda…
I don't wanna risk dying..!
then do an alternative permanent change, like losing an arm
But their arms are made of metal...
well then it’s going to happen anyways
... :[
Unless they pull a sol badguy (guilty gear protaganist) who went back in time saw his past self killed and just didn't wink out of existence or create a paradox
No idea how you would ever become a demon sooooo Talk to them to get more information?
Yeah the first part would be impossible..
Wait aren’t you friends with a bunch of demons?
Maybe...
So could it be possible you becoming a demon is because of them? Or maybe the gods you spend time with that are practically embodiments of certain sins
... They wouldn't do that...
^Wait ^would ^Torinn ^be ^gluttony ^or ^greed… Hm? Oh yeah right, uh something might happen in the future!
I mean, they're probably just some random wizard who looks like me... /uw probably gluttony
Time is confusing. Never know what might happen. I could just use some godly magical stuff to find out if they are you but I really can’t be bothered.
Ok...
What about lucifer
"When is minecraft 2 releasing" "What? It never released" _Stops channelling fireball_ "oh god you are actually from the future"
Noo!!!! /uw lol
Ask them something you only know
… >.> I deal with this occasionally. Not really anything new for me.
I'm you from the future, you should start chain smoking.
Hmph! >.> An obvious lie. Don’t waste my time. *shoos you away*
Ah well worth a shot... Would you like to partake in a smoke?
… >.> no. /uw alcohol is his vice. lol
Damn shame *He's your new nemesis* It's the bird or him not both *The bird*
/uw the bird? Sorry, I’m not exactly familiar with any of your character’s lore.
/uw ah it's a joke because I'm dumb and now have Earl as an arch nemesis at the behest of the voice in my characters head. If it weren't for gods he'd be psychotic
/uw lol got it
/uw welcome to my mind, the conditions are terrible, sleep is a myth, and the points don't matter. But yeah lot of dumb stuff because I am dumb
Quiz them on things only the real you would know and remember
Well how do I know they just don't have very similar knowledge...
What about stuff that you did with nobody around
Simple start working on time travel
This exact scenario was how I learned my craft to begin with. Nothing beats being self-taught as a chronomancer.
[удалено]
In a non literal sense... right..?
/uw I am very intrigued as to what happened here.
We got along *very* well when that happened. Damn, she was hot!
Well self love is good I suppose!
***Pastnir:*** Least narcissistic mage:
*a Spell triggers as Pastnir approaches, conjuring a mirrored surface in front of his face* Ooh! It worked! A lot what you say is pure projection, so I thought I'd reflect it back where it belongs.

Counterpoint; touch grass, get laid.

Oh, thank you!
Cut off your hand and see if theirs disappears.
I don't want to..
The same thing, but instead you ask skeleton wizard to steal one of your bones?
Regeneration magic
Make a promise to yourself to never learn regeneration magic
and then what if you're wrong? Now you're down a hand and likely against a wizard more powerful than you (or, in my case, I'm not even a wizard yet!)
Get a prosthetic, you can find good ones for surprisingly cheap if you know where to look.
What if prosthetics are indistinguishable from real hands in the future?
Promise to never upgrade.
How could I be sure I'd have the willpower to never upgrade? (Also, what if it \*is\* an evil wizard? Cutting my hand off just gives me a major disadvantage in combat
Fairpoint, but… instant Brazilian wax!
I would read the mind and dreams of that person, but you can’t really do the same, sorry that I can’t give any advice on that.
The prophecy would tell me if I believe them or not.
happens all the time, usually i'll just hear them out, and they'll fuck off on their own terms
I beat his ass till he was forced to go back. And yes I won, because future me can't kill me lest he causes a paradox. And yes I had to specifically jump into every deadly attack.
Try and predict something, and then get it wrong. If for some reason you actually guess it right, well then just use a good old fashioned fireball.
They’d be able to help me with my research as they’d catch me up to speed and then I’d have a partner
That would be interesting...
My knowledge knows no bounds, the research must grow
Pastnir: Yeah, well, turns out my future self is a warlock, crippled, consorts with mages, left our master, and wields a wand... I wanna go back to my time...
Just say "silence, brand" and turn them in a coca cola can before they try to say anything
Kill them.

Check using timeline magic to regress their age, if they are, then there will be a point where we look identical. If not, then we’re not.
ask for your private RSA key
Obviously, just fire a venom shot at them, if they do anything, they're an impostor. If they're actually me, they'd know I'd throw it and just wait for me to pill it back... ...What's a cutemancer
"Hey! I'm you from the future!" "Oh wow, really?!" "Yep... *grunts*...*whistles*... So, you got any games on your phone?"
Unfortunately I can't really help. Due to circumstances it is impossible for me to encounter a past or future version of myself so if someone tried to tell me they were my future I would know they were lying on the spot
would cut off my testicles. if they still have their (my) deliciously delectable balls then they are not me
Going back in time to warn myself about some blathering idiot that’s gonna visit them, just need to invent time travel first
Hm haven’t had to deal with this before.
If I really need to be sure, cast Mindlink! Short of completely fabricated identical memories, which is nigh impossible, they would have to be me.

Hmmm that is a good question, i do not know
*yeets veritaserum at them*
i'd cast thunder spell.
Kill them out of principal and devote your life from that point to the search for immortality to possibly create a paradox cause its funny
“…Ask them what is going to happen in the next five seconds”
ask them about the future, see what happens later in your life
See if one of us is going to choke the other out.
Time travel to the exact second she’s from and see if she’s there. If not, I go talk to my future self.
boom
I would cast gun on the roof of my mouth, that’ll learn them to dare show their asses where they ain’t welcome
They probably are, if we can stretch our illusions to appear in the past to change current reality, it wouldn't be a stretch to just send an illusion of yourself to the past. It all depends on what they tell me, if they tell me not to kill my uncle then they're fake and it is a trap made by another wizard.
