At the end of the day, since this is using multiple worlds. Say you travel to the past, what it actually means is that you travel to what matches your interpretation of the past which is a pointless venture since you have chosen to observe what agrees with your viewpoint.
Yes, you cannot be 100% sure of it, hence why I may argue it is the result of memory and knowledge, there's no concrete past that one may know of. Devil's Proof, this "true past" may as well be God, or the aether with no way to prove it nor any method to disprove it. Unfair, I admit but it nonetheless sustains the matter.

It is impossible as the GM said it is, the issue is, in regards to magic, I do not know what the precise reason is. Presumably, to record data on all particles and determine previous states is just as impossible with magic as it is without.

So it could stab someone, misfold their proteins to form prions and give them something like mad cow disease?

Yes, I know it's a cop-out, but it is still theoretically possible, though not remotely likely for weird shit to occur. Very well, I shall present a different argument. How would you know it's the past? You can only observe the area you are in, not the rest of the universe, even if you could do so, his supposed past may have a differing past to the past of your own past.

Because it looks like the past.

Except one only has an idea of what the past is, a summation of memory and knowledge. To say it looks like the past would thus be to say that it looks like what one thinks what the past was.

Sorry, I can't really form any concrete argument since the magic here doesn't so much have any rules as much as it has vague suggestions with little to no known limitations.

1.) Well, the other option commonly considered is FTL, but that gets screwed over by mass dilation.
2.) Because magic is dictated by fickle beings known as the players and the GM. And the GM doesn't want time-travel backwards at all. I can't really present any meaningful arguments on that seeing as magic here involves arbitrary geometrical constructs, interest rates and sex.

A DISEMBOWELING! Oh my, we haven't had one of those in weeks! Bravo! And look how he just keeps fighting. Look at that fatal bloodlust in his eyes! You won't see sights like this on any other television program, I can assure you of that!

((I've seen people mentioning arm cannons. Do we have those already?))

As she is a magical being she does in fact do that.

well, other summons are other summons, I only govern the fringe of the void. But generaly the more powerful, the bigger the sacrifices needed for a successful and safe summoning experience

I think I screwed up with the pie analogy, I probably should have said something like "travel to <insert other abstract, inaccessible concept here>" but "ravel to pie" seemed less longwinded.

Hey at least his coffee gets spiked with something

Also, I think @GWG made will do something. What was that?

Oozy tries to sit on top of Angel's head.
