Displacement

Time: Action Target: Self and a location in Spitting Distance(4u)
Test: Tuning 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.

Tuning 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.

NOTE: All items worn or held when you gain stacks of Displaced also count as Displaced. New items you pick up while Displaced do not count as having stacks of Displaced.

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 object or creature in Swinging Distance(1u) to displace. A target object's bearer or a target creature can remain unaffected if they Pass an Artifice Save.
  • When targeting an object in a creature's possession (including your own) or in a container, you can choose to make that object returns to the creature's possession or that container instead of its original location.
• Greater(2).
  • Optionally, you can grant the ability to Half Levitate to anything Displaced. If the Displaced is an object, it becomes unmoving in the air. Forces or weight heavier than the object can move it.
• 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 Exhausted again for the rest of the Episode.
    • [7..] The Stacks of Displaced remain Persistent until you choose to dismiss them as an Action.
