Before Time, there was no cause and effect, but there was Power and effect. In order to truly achieve something, a Power had to be invoked, such as Death being used on Yelm. After Time, things got a whole lot less predictable, and stupid, seemingly unrelated things would start happening. "He fell over and stopped moving, m'lud. All I did was cut his throat!"
IMO.
