Note things like Compartmentalized Mind should probably get similar treatment.

Very cool, simple idea.

I think there are some pretty powerful effects here, but at 100/level, Altered Time Rate should give some major benefits. I think you might want to model Simultaneity as a perk with ATR as a prerequisite.

Compare it to the effects of Teamwork from Power-Ups 2.

Christopher Rice, on his blog, adapted Teamwork as Coven:

In this case, the team you are working with would be yourself. This perk already talks about coordinating attacks, sharing active defenses, and "handing off" spells or "transferring" the benefits of feints. It does seem like an ideal solution to a lot of the complaints people have about ATR.... I'd like to see it written up and hear other opinions.
