Polamedes body disintegrates into tiny blue cubes that reveal the muscular and bone structure underneath before those are also digitized. The entire body from the feet to the head dissolves into tiny blue voxels before those merge together into a solid beam of blue energy that rockets from the 5g tower to a satellite and back to the end point.
The voxel dissolve works by creating a perfect loop of light that digitizes and dissolves anything it passes over. In normal circumstances polamedes can use one of his finger rings to begin the process as the ring grows up his wrist and arm towards the rest of his body. Flencing sink as it goes. In more dire circumstances the ring would need to be formed so the voxel nanites have a starting place to work from and can go from foot to head.

You are transported directly to the chosen Location. You must wait an hour before activating this effect again.
