Ack ack ack, sorry, I meant to reply to this sooner!! =P Um, sure I can explain it. I was re-reading Keeper and you know that scene where Terik is Descrying Sophie? Well it’s explicitly stated twice that Terik opens the door to his office before Alden knocks. The first time it’s excusable but the second time there is no explanation other than that he saw the future and knew that the door had to be opened. And I know that sounds like a jump, but his power is to sense potential, right? And that seems like such a weird power to have. And it’s also a weird detail for the author to include that he is the only one with this power. But what if since he’s the only one with the power then he never got proper training, and since he never got training he is only using a fraction of his ability? I mean, his Descrying could be getting a foggy image of what a person’s possible futures could be (I think this would be the sort of timeline where free will determines the outcome of the universe, as this would fit best with Teriks description of his power and the “you decide who you are” theme of the books) and he also occasionally gets sort of “premonitions”, hence the door opening scene. But then since Sophie is an enhancer, then if she ENHANCED him, he might be able to use his full ability and see the future, or the most likely version of it or something. But then I was telling a friend of mine about this, and she suggested that maybe if Terik has power over time, the same way most other powers are focused around controlling some sort of “element” (ei telepath=mind, shade=darkness, hydroelectric=water, Conjurer=“the void”) so what if he combined his time powers with Sophie’s teleportation, and then they were able to time travel? Plus I read somewhere that his councillor stone represents seeing the future or something (don’t remember exactly what) so that’s another bit of evidence. Plus this guy has done a ton of super suspicious stuff that I’ve heard some theories saying he’s actually evil, and this could totally be combined with that idea.

Sorry, that was really long. =P
