Back in 2017, there was an event that came to be known as, Spontaneous Body Swapping Syndrome. Thought of in the past as a disturbance in the flow of nature, or a scientific experiment gone wrong on the genetic level, it is in fact a magical curse inflicted on one member of each family. Each of the opposite gender. In the future SBSS has become something of a regular event. So regular in fact that it is found to be linked to birth. Scientists and Mages have found that when two people are born at the same exact time, their bodies are linked together. When either person reaches a certain event in their life, the cycle begins. The duration of the event depends on the strength (or weakness) of the connection.

How Exact is Exact?
Is "exact" considered within a second of each other? A millisecond perhaps? In fact, one has to be really precise about defining the birth time as well. Is it the time the final toe completely emerges?
Let's see, at about 130 million births per year, and about 32 million seconds per year, that's about four births per second, on average.

exact exact
im thinking literally instantaneous. remember this is magic we're talking about
Particular Time?
It might be hypothetically possible for magic to force two events to occur at (literally) exactly the same time, but normally it can't happen. No matter how small the interval, it still has an infinite number of points. On the other hand, an event doesn't happen at a single instant of time, but rather occurs over a time interval. Then, it's quite possible for them to overlap.
And, of course, a birth takes a long time.
I kept thinking of nuclear and particle timescales, where interaction times might be (say) 10^{-22} seconds.

LOL
Can't help but think of Spinal Tap. These go to eleven.
Or maybe what we have here is a failure... to communicate!
Ok, I got my mix of ancient pop culture giggles out of my system.
