Upwind Second sounds to me that it's changing a second in the future, instead of the past. It'd probably have to be triggered in some way to be useful.

Triggering a spell that goes to the future? Maybe if you were in a skyboat traveling at exactly eighty-eight leagues per hour...

It'd more likely require some foreknowledge, perhaps with a KeTe spell beforehand to provide such. Could well require Co or Me as well as Te if it's going to influence someone's actions. All told, it'd probably be easier to use a long-duration version of a more conventional control spell to take effect when desired and simply sit dormant until then, possibly mindfully. Of course, mindful spells require a certain Sp specialisation, and for someone better at Te than Sp...

It sounds more to me like the spell would cause a second (or perhaps P/5 seconds or actions?) from someone's personal timeline to simply not happen, although I have a sneaking suspicion there's already a spell for that.
