Someone has initiated you into one of the Yrnean methods of Spanning. Whether you were converted using nanotech and later received training in an effort to break free or got exceptionally lucky in your source of invitation, you rely on innate psychic ability rather than the vagaries of technology.
You start with a span of .1 and can increase your rating as if it were a skill with a time rating of 200 days/60 days with each 10 clocks resulting in an increase of .1 span up to span 1. After achieving Span 1 each new level of Span requires 100x the new level of Span clocks. However, your highest Span rating is equal to the lowest of your stats.
One of the things discussed repeatedly in the Narcissist setting is the distaste the legendary Antidesertium Narcissists have for the Continuum's methods of spanning. While there's some discussion of time machines most of the discussions about the origin of time travel suggest that it was an learned, possibly psychic, power rather than an external technological device that was somehow created in prehistory. Thus, I created this benefit which I feel covers a clear hole in the setting.
