Chimera Technique: Distortion Drive "They won't mind me popping through for a moment"
Sora tosses out a game cartridge which seems to impact against nothing as a portal appears, seeming to lead to a vibrant pixilated world. He steps through it as a dragon appears from the other side and flies to the destination point where another portal appears and Sora re-emerges.
Through extended exposure, Sora's Chimeran DNA has absorbed some of the properties of Maikendo, allowing Sora to use Maikendo as a 'go between' between two locations. This sometimes causes mild annoyance to residents as he will randomly appear within the world before disappearing again a few moments later. He always apologizes for this afterwards.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Location within your line of sight. You must actively and obviously use Game Cartridge to activate this Effect.
You are transported directly to the chosen Location. You must wait 1 full Round before activating this Effect again.
When you Travel, you leave a pixilated dragon which flies from one point to another as Sora travels as a distinct trail between your starting and end points.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Red Steps
"This is something that joins us all."
Emily makes an offering of her own blood (for power) and a virgin's blood (for tempting) to the Grail... and it consumes her. For a moment, the blood leaks from her amulet before spreading over her, turning to red silk as it does, wrapping around her.. and then collapsing in on itself. She emerges in her new desired location as a chrysalis.
She may also make a prayer to the Grail at one of their temples - drinking freely and consuming all pleasures, and travel to another.

Shackle of the Riftway
Bound by space and time, the shackles twist fate, unleashing wrath across unseen worlds.
The Shackle of the Riftway is a powerful artifact and a companion for the Shackle of Serenity: it is designed to anchor Norman to a specific point in time and space, allowing his spirit to travel across dimensions before rematerializing. The bracer is built in black leather, intricately detailed with gold filigree and runes that pulse with otherworldly energy. A series of small, polished links from a runed stainless steel chain are woven into the bracer, reinforcing its ability to connect with the arcane forces of the multiverse. The centerpiece of the bracer is a coin-shaped symbol embedded in the leather, etched with eldritch designs that evoke the ancient power of the Elders who once bestowed these abilities. This symbol acts as the focal point for Norman’s dimensional travels, guiding his spirit as it slips between realms in pursuit of closure, with the first etchings dedicated to a specific site - the Infinite Parking Lot.

Come Along
She allows me passage through her domain
Reaching out into empty space, you tear open a jagged portal to an abhorrent domain of bleeding eyes and gnashing teeth. A short walk through the domain allows you to arrive at your destination along with anyone that is with you.

- If this Effect fails due to the Unreliable check, you must still pay any associated activation costs.
