If one were to send a message back in time to change events, the cost of sending that message is unimportant as they would not need to send that message because the situation chnanged. The Aura cost would be irrelevant. ....Sentry, that's the Grandfather Paradox. Which I did explain how to solve. First, Required Secondary Powers, in this case the Ripple Effect-Proof Memory. Basically, the user retains memories from before, thus:

1-They send the message.

2-Something changes.

3-They know how it was "before" and that it changed, that the previous present was overwritten by the current present. So they know they sent the message, and their reasons for doing so, thus avoiding the whole paradox.

3.2-As for the Aura Cost, I was thinking of the Aura being unaffected as well. The user knows they sent the message and their Aura doesn't inmediately recover as if they never sent anything even when the changes arrive (if you go the Delayed Ripple Effect route).

(PS: I will assume you did have far more issues than just "irrelevant Aura cost" or "situational OPness). I apologize for overlooking the part where you covered that.

The fact that this goes beyond relative temporal manipulation (time dialation) is a fundamental problem for me. I tend to adress problems in broad strokes.
