Magic Alter Time Altering Time. Returning to past location and health when duration expires. Duration: 10 seconds

Alter Time is a mage ability, available at level 19 for Arcane mages and level 58 for Fire and Frost mages. A similar but weaker effect exists in the Arcane-only Honor Talent [Temporal Shield]. It sends players back in time, but is negated by long distance and death. Most buffs and debuffs do not seem to be affected.
