 ====Time Travel====
-It is possible to travel through time, though only if a person casts their heart from their [[body]], or by using a [[lifeboat]] from [[Daybreak Town]].
+It is possible to travel through time, but only if a person casts their heart from their [[body]]. Time travel is a rare occurrence, and few individuals possess the knowledge or power to travel through time.
-In the case of the heart method, only the user's heart travels through time. To remain in the destination time period, the user must have a body at the destination that they can occupy (such as a [[Replica]]), or must otherwise be in a state that does not require a body (such as being a Heartless). If the body occupied is destroyed, or if the user's heart is otherwise forced out of it, then the user will be pulled back to their original time period, with no memories of their time travel. However, their experience will still be engraved in their heart, and may subconsciously influence their actions in their original time period.
+If a heart has traveled through time, it must have a body to remain in the destination time period (such as a [[Replica]]) or must be in a state that does not require a body (such as being a Heartless). If the physical form that the heart is inhabiting is destroyed, or if the time traveler's heart is otherwise forced out of it, the heart will return to its original time period. The traveler is left with no memories of their time travel, although their experience will still be engraved within their heart and may unconsciously influence their actions.
-It is possible to travel both backwards and forwards in time with the heart method, and the power to time travel can also be granted to other versions of oneself. [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] was able to travel to the past due to the nature of his Heartless status, and gift his younger self the ability to time travel. The latter then used this power to collect hearts throughout time, for his future self’s plan.
+When one is traveling backward through time, there must be a version of the traveler at the destination time period. The same restriction does not apply to forward time travel.
-In the case of the lifeboat method, the user's entire self travels through time - heart, body, and soul. To arrive at a destination time, there must be someone at the destination with memories of the user's existence, and a medium with which the user can gain a body. [[Maleficent]] was able to regain her body when the three good fairies encountered her cloak at Yen Sid's Tower. The Union leaders and Ventus were able to travel into the future due to the memories provided by [[Luxu]], and his [[No Name]] Keyblade as a medium to gain physical forms.
+Through the use of a device called a [[lifeboat]], it is possible to separate a heart from one's body and send it forward through time. Unlike the previous method of displacing one's heart, this method of time travel allows one's entire self to travel forward permanently. Instead of having a vessel at the destination, the time traveler's body is reformed. This requires two things at the destination: a medium – some sort of object with a connection to the traveler – and someone with memories of the traveler. However, if the process is incomplete, the traveler may be left without memories of their original time.
-The lifeboat method has thus far only been used to travel forward in time, so it is unknown if it can be used to travel backwards. It is also unknown if the power of time travel can be gifted to another version of oneself through the lifeboat method.
+There are also special methods that allow the user to break the rules of standard time travel. These are unconventional and isolated instances that are not typically possible. Special cases of time travel include [[Yen Sid]]'s manipulation of time to send Sora and Riku to [[Destiny Islands]] at the beginning of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], [[Young Xehanort]]'s ability to freely travel with his heart and body after being visited by his future Heartless [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], and Sora's abuse of the [[power of waking]] to first undo the events at the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] and then return a second time to piece together Kairi's heart. Certain worlds may also have special time-bending properties, such as [[Timeless River]], a world from [[Disney Castle]]'s past summoned by [[Pete]]'s desire to return to simpler days, and the [[Secret Forest]], a world whose time flow has been altered by [[Merlin]] and the [[Three Good Fairies]].
