The Path of the Traveler


 ** At this level, the Magus can perform an unnaturally quick sidestep, allowing dodges to be performed as though heavy cover were nearby. This sidestep will take the Magus no more than 6 feet, at most, from their original location. Use of this ability expends a blood point.

*** The Magus can now move (run) at ten times normal speed. This costs two full blood points and lasts only ten minutes.

**** The Magus has achieved the first level of true power in this Path, and can Teleport instantly up to 100 feet distant within their line of sight. There must be no intervening barriers that would stop the passage of air. To normal cameras and eyes, the Magi simply disappears with a sharp cracking sound as air rushes in to fill the space he occupied. Stop-motion photography would reveal that the Magus turned into a blurred, dark form that darted with incredible rapidity captured in only one high-speed film frame in the direction of his destination.

***** The Magus is now a master of this Path, and can use it to Teleport instantly to any spot on the  planet or, depending on their Generation, beyond with a range of approximately twenty thousand miles minus (Generation x 1,000 miles)

(The Ritual of Casting Thy Sight is an excellent companion to this Path, as by thoroughly examining the area through the use of such Scrying Magic, one can lower the difficulty to that of a well-known, visited three or more times location.)

 System: Roll Wits + Survival against a Difficulty, and with Blood Point costs, as listed below:

If a difficulty raises above 10 with a Modifier, it cannot be accomplished, and the Magus is very likely to emerge explosively in a solid surface, dying instantly. Willpower Points cannot be spent to achieve automatic successes in this instance, as the circumstances are wholly beyond control.
