The power to change your location without traveling the distance between.
Used by Preston Vincent Astor III, Created by ShadyTradesman.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. You must actively and obviously be using a staff.)

The effect occurs at the source and destination simultaneously, though there is no sign he is the source (besides appearing/disappearing).
