I wanted to add that in today's day and age it was noticed and talked about, and signs pointed to the otherwise good wizard.

So that's why I fall asleep, wake up 6 hours later feeling like it's been 6 minutes instead, still feeling exhausted.

It's all that dang Immortal Time Wizard's fault!

((if he was smart enough to pick sleeping people, he'd never be noticed at all.))

Surely if he can manage "steal a minute from this person" cast en masse, he can work out a "is person sleeping?" check first... and plumb those two together...

I mean, it's also reasonable that this might not be a thing that's allowed under the magic system, but... /shrug

The idea was a whole world massive spell. Perhaps via some items. The original idea was just one second from everybody. That would give him a couple hundred years.

So, the original idea was one second. I switched it to one minute so he could get that long, especially with earlier generations. Ion any case, a story with either one would make me just as happy. :)

Some of the people will be doing things where it would be dangerous to pass out for a minute.
