Cartoon Oswald realises he doesn't have to obey the laws of nature regarding "Sprinting"
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. This Effect cannot be used unless Cartoon Oswald is active.
Lasts 1 minute. Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is tripled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 100 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 100 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) counts as a tumble or catastrophic vehicle collision as per the vehicle rules.

As the change overtakes him, Norman is instantly engulfed in a violent flash of blood-red flame, the searing light swallowing his human form in less than a heartbeat. With a guttural, agonized scream that twists the soul, his already imposing figure contorts and swells in a blur of impossible speed. Where Norman once stood, an abomination towers—a nightmarish, eldritch beast over nine feet tall. Its hide is covered with thick fur; a swirling, reddish-brown coat constantly rippling as if alive, radiating waves of unnatural heat. Two jagged and ribbed horns rip from its skull and curve menacingly backwards and to the sides, their edges glowing faintly with feverish energy. The creature’s eyes burn with a sickly, otherworldly glow, and its mouth stretches into a savage rictus, exposing an arsenal of needle-like, interlocking fangs. The air seems to warp and shudder around it, reality recoiling from each of its thunderous, echoing steps. The transformation ends as suddenly as it began, leaving the world ringing with the echo of Norman’s tortured scream and the lingering, acrid scent of scorched earth—a horrifying reminder of the eldritch power now unshackled.
