Why is that ? I don't understand why do you say here. Why 2-3 turns? I think it's effective every turn it's up.

The most potent effect of the burden of time is the killing off of national mages. Especially those that start off pretty old. But the best human mages in general tend to start close enough to old age that just a few turns of burden of time are enough to ensure that they'll die. That can be a LOT of mages. After you've killed off, say, 100 mages worldwide, relatively the rest of the turns are a lot less destructive... But sure, burden of time would be happy staying up and killing off the world's population.
