Gammon nods. "It is not a full paradox; if it were, in fact, one, you would notice considerably more significant effects. However, I suspect you feel the nausea and disorientation that comes from Temporal Fragmentation. One of the most common causes is altering a fact in the past that you<em>know</em>to be true, or viewing a future directly, and causing it to not come into being. The multiverse does not find these minor flaws completely abhorrent, and, instead, merely directs the 'damage' it causes onto either the being who has caused it, or, if you attempt to change something that another being<em>knows</em>, the damage will be directed to them. You, currently, have a single, first level paradox. The levels of paradox are cumulative. A minor incident results in a single level. A major incident, such as a change of removing the flask entirely, would be a level two. A severe event, such as the death of one's parent, prior to one's birth, would be a level 3... and would likely inflict more, as well, the further Down it occurred. At six levels of paradox and beyond, one can cease to exist, as the paradox becomes too significant, and the universe removes them, to prevent further damage. I can call a Zelekhut in order to repair your Fragmentation, however, you will need to lower some of your defenses, to allow it within."
