History: RANK 1-4
Hidden weirdness: the supernatural stuff has always existed, under the surface, more so in recent centuriestextbook history and common knowledge match our world
Lost time: a significant chunk of the historical past is fabricated, centuries might be missing
Small differences alternate: like the first category, but with some minor though potentially important differences in recent decadeswars, art trends, leaders, sports
Reality quake: a reality altering event has occurred, either recently or deeper in the past/further in the future but affecting the present. Magic bleeds into the world and lots of people are noticing
