I think the aspect of So You Want to be a Wizard that most caught my imagination was the implied temporal paradox.
After reading the Oath, Nita talks with Fred in Timeheart, although neither her first meeting with him nor his death have happened yet.
More than anything else, this brought home the idea that Timeheart was truly timeless: the laws of causality didn't apply.
Thoughts, anyone?
