Luci can deepen her own shadow aided by the mechanism that allows objects to sink inside of her own stash. On walls, Luci's boot/shoe/foot sinks a little into the surface and can adhere itself as if she were standing on the ground. Underwater, her shadow spews out air as a sort of propulsion system that can eliminate her need to swim.

An unnatural pressure forced his head to lift upward and turn his eyes skyward, his mouth pushed open by an internal presence so severely that his upper and lower jaw no longer remained connected by bone, and instead merely by the stringy flesh and muscles that lie there.
All signs of where there had once been teeth and a tongue were now concealed by the dark glistening of a beak that lay much further into the unnaturally sized maw, and launching their way past said beak with freakish speed were a group of 8 tentacles: pushing impossibly through the narrow space as if fighting for freedom of Luciano's body, each about the width of his own leg.
At once, they all finally found their majority exit from his body, snaking around his form and pushing down onto solid ground in a spider-like formation, their length necessitating that Luciano's feet now floated off of the ground.
And then, the horrid octuplet mass began to gallop in unison, kicking up dust as the monstrous flesh at once became only a blur on the horizon
His father was a Gen-Wyld operative with a bunch of Cuttlefish DNA implanted into him that made him all Squiddy, grafted tentacle appendages and gills and what not. Enzo probably shouldn't have been allowed to procreate, who knows.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is increased by 25 feet.

Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds.
