Displacement

Time: Action Target: Self and a location in Spitting Distance(4u)
Test: Mage Stat Concentrating
Effect: Movement

While something has stacks of Displaced, it will teleport from its Starting Location to the target location (or the nearest open location to it.) Any Persistent stacks of Displaced granted by this Ability become Fleeting if you lose Concentration. Once something loses its last stack of Displaced, it immediately teleports back to its Starting Location (its location before gaining the stacks of Displaced.) If their Starting Location is no longer free, they instead teleport to a free location as close to their Starting Location as possible.

Mage Stat Score:

• [..6] You teleport to the target location and gain one Fleeting stack of Displaced.
• [7..9] :LiArrowUp:Ditto, but the stack of Displaced is Persistent until you lose Concentration.
• [..10] :LiArrowUp:Ditto, but you gain two stacks of Displaced and when you lose Concentration on this Ability, you can also choose to lose all stacks of Displaced.

Any creature teleporting with you can choose their own location that is within Swinging Distance(1u) of where you teleport to.

Upgrades:

• Far(1).
  • You can target a location in Throwing Distance(8u).
• Far(2).
  • You can target a location in Shooting Distance(16u).
• Greater(1).
  • Instead of yourself, you can target a Large(2u) or smaller creature or object in Swinging Distance(1u) to displace. A target creature or a target object's bearer can choose to make an Edge Save. If they Pass the Edge Save, they remain unaffected.
• Greater(2).
  • Optionally, you can grant anything Displaced the ability to Half Levitate. If the Displaced is an object, it becomes fixed in the air, only falling if a heavier object or force knocks it loose.
• Greater(3).
  • You can perform this Ability Exhausted instead of Concentrating. If you do, the Ability gains the following effects:
    • [..6] You cannot cast this Ability again for the rest of the Episode.
    • [7..] The stacks of Displaced remain Persistent until you choose to dismiss them as an Action.
