You cause an object in your hands, which only you can be holding and weighs no more than 5 pounds, to vanish. The object does not actually disappear; instead it is sent forward in time a minimum of one hour and a maximum of one year. You may specify the time the object will return down to the second, if you wish, or a more general time. You may even specify a condition under which the object will appear (When a young man sits in this spot and sighs.) If you specify a condition rather than a time, the spell ends after one year if it is not triggered and the object reappears regardless. Unlike most other spells you may not end this spell early and must wait. For this reason most casters specify a combination of time and condition (“In seventeen days or when I return to this spot and say ‘Shazam’”). Combinations such as these are valid.
The object does not teleport with you; instead it returns precisely to the spot from which it disappeared. This makes the spell very useful for hiding objects but not especially useful for transportation.
Unlike Wristpocket, on which this spell is based, Temporal Shudder does not require concentration to maintain. However, you may not affect more objects at a time with Temporal Shudder than your Intelligence modifier.
