The definition of complex multiplication on K3 surfaces

I am reading this paper on the complex multiplication of K3 surfaces. It seems that this is only defined for complex K3 surfaces, or K3 surfaces over number fields. Is there a more general defintion ...

Why $k((x,t))$ can not be a local field?

If $k$ is a finite field, then $k((x))$ is a local field, and we can define a discrete valuation on $k((x))$ with respect to which it is complete. It is sometimes called a 1-dimensional local field. I ...
