Ebb: Reality Folding

Palm object, real sleight. 1/2lb objects or less.

Self - Sm, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 1 FLUX. This is the first and quickest of the 'Reality Folding' abilities. This allows the user to go from one location to another in an instant. The maximum range for this skill is Sm in any direction as long as the Ebon can see their destination regardless of intervening terrain. This costs 1 FLUX. Free Ability: Palm object, real sleight. 1 /2lb objects or less.

Self - 10m, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 2 FLUX. The. range on this form of 'Jump Porting' is increased to 10m and the cost is 2 FLUX. The Ebon must be able to see their destination clearly.

Self - 20m, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 3 FLUX. The range for this skill is increased once more to 20m where the Ebon is able to port themselves to a visible destination. This costs 3 FLUX.

Object - free standing, inanimate, range from user Sm, max. weight 1kg, Cost: 5 FLUX. This ability allows an Ebon to port an inanimate object from where it stands to their hand or next to them. The object can weigh no more than 1kg and must be within Sm of the user. The Ebon must also be able to see the object clearly. The cost for this skill is 5 FLUX.

Object - free standing, inanimate, range from user 10m, max. weight 2kg, Cost: 5 FLUX. This is a stronger Jump Port ability which allows the Ebon to port an inanimate object from up to 10m away which weighs up to 2kg to where they stand or into their hand. The Ebon must be able to see the object clearly. The cost of this skill is 5 FLUX per object.

Object - free standing, inanimate, range from user 20m, max. weight 10kg, Cost: 6 FLUX. This ability allows the Ebon again to increase the weights and ranges of porting an object to themselves. The Ebon can now port an object weighing up to 10kg from a range of 20m away. The Ebon must still have a clear line of sight to the inanimate object but it can be moving. The cost for this skill is 6 FLUX per object.

Self - 50m, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 7 FLUX. This ability again deals with the porting of the Ebon themselves. This port has a range of 50m as long as the Ebon can see their destination clearly with no intervening terrain. This costs 7 FLUX.

Self - 100m, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 8 FLUX. This level of 'porting' takes time to perform, 13 seconds minus the user's CONC. The range is 100m and the Ebon must be able to see their destination clearly. This skill costs 8 FLUX.

Self - 200m, Must be able to see destination, Cost: 9 FLUX. Jump Port 9- With this skill, the Ebon can port themselves to up to 200m away as long as they can clearly see their destination. The skill takes 13 seconds minus the user's CONC to perform and costs 9 FLUX.

Self - Wallwalk, dur. = CONC in seconds, Cost: 10 FLUX. Jump Port 10 - This is a very complex ability that involves the Ebon making a series of very small manipulation equations in rapid succession. This gives the Ebon the appearance of a flickering figure as they fold space millions of times a second. This allows an Ebon to literally walk through solid objects like walls as they do not exist long enough in the physical universe for the object to take effect. An Ebon cannot walk through a living object. No other abilities of any kind can be used when the Ebon wall-walks. The duration of the ability is the Ebon' s CONC in seconds and costs 10 FLUX.

Self - Blind, if clear picture is known, i.e. home, max. 5km, Cost: 11 FLUX. This is a very risky way of manipulating Ebb flow. The Ebon has to picture the place they wish to port to in their mind then fold themselves. This can only be done if the Ebon knows the place they wish to fold to really well i.e. their home or a similar place. How well they know the destination is up to the Games Master. The maximum range of this 'blind port' is 5km and costs 11 FLUX.

Self - Must be able to see destination within 20m, can take one other person/ object up to 80kg, Cost: 12 FLUX. This is the first step on the way to actually Jump Porting a foldship. It may seem as if the two skills are unrelated but they are almost identical. Where a navigator folds space around a ship, a normal Ebon folds space around another person or similar object. This means that at this level, an Ebon can port themselves and another person or object, as long as the object weighs under 80kg, up to a distance of 20m. The Ebon must have clear sight of the destination and the cost is 12 FLUX and 10 FLUX for every 1kg over up to 95kg.

Self - Must be able to see destination within 50m, can take one other person/ object up to 80kg, Cost: 13 FLUX. This is an improved version of the Rank 12 skill where the Ebon can port themselves as well as another person or object as long as they weigh under 80kg, up to a distance of 50m. The cost for this skill is 13 FLUX plus 5 FLUX for every 1kg over 80kg up to a maximum of 95kg. The Ebon must have a clear line of sight of their destination.

Self - Safe Port, Must know destination within 5 km, can take one other person/object up to 80kg, Cost: 14 FLUX. This is nearly an identical skill to the Rank 13 where an Ebon can port both themselves and another person or object 'blind' as in the Rank 11 skill as long as it is not over 80kg. The Ebon can port up to a maximum of 5km away as long as they know well where they are going (this is up to the Games Master). The cost for this skill is 14 FLUX plus 5 FLUX for every 1kg above 80kg to a maximum of 100kg.

Everything in a 2.Sm radius of user ported within 200m or sight, Cost: 30 FLUX. This is a general area mass port skill. It is used to reality fold everything including the user in a 2.Sm radius to a desired location within 200m which the Ebon must know really well i.e. home or can see clearly. There is no weight limit to the fold but objects which are fixed down would not fold. Everything else would fold i.e. dirt and water as well as other objects. The cost for this skill is 30 FLUX.

Selective, can take up to three people if Sm or closer to user within 200m or sight, Cost: 35 + 5 FLUX/person. This is a refined version of the Mass Port 1 skill where an Ebon can port people within Sm of the Ebon. The range is 200m as long as the destination is either in sight or a known location. The cost is 35 FLUX plus 5 FLUX per person ported up to 50 FLUX (Three extra people).

Self - Planet wide within 20 000km if known or have a picture, as Port 11, Cost: 25 FLUX. This is a self manipulation ability where the Ebon has developed a very good working understanding of Ebb flow and can port themselves anywhere in a 12,000km range as long as they know where they are going. A picture of the destination will be good enough for the Ebon to port to it or even a very good description (this is at the Games Master's discretion). The cost of this skill is 25 FLUX

Object - Any (even guns, armor etc.) from other people, max. weight 50kg, no more than 50m away to hand or side, Cost: 18 FLUX. This form of porting is very specialized. The skill involves the Ebon being able to find the stable point of an inanimate object which may be moving and is no more than 50m away. They can then port the object to their hand or beside them. The object that is to be ported must weigh no more than 50kg and include guns, armor and objects from other people. This costs 18 FLUX.

Gate - Navigational insight, universe known. At this point in an Ebon's development, their abilities have grown to considerable power and using them has given the Ebon a great deal of insight into the working of the Ebb and how it relates to the fabric of the universe. This knowledge takes the form of a navigational understanding of space and how the planets and stars function as part of the universe. You must now learn or know the skill Space Navigation before you go on to learn Rank 20.

Foldship-Port foldship from A to B. Astral navigation must be known. This skill is used in conjunction with the Rank 19 skill. This ability allows the Ebon to fold space around one of the great foldships constructed by Dark Lament. The cost of FLUX is great and should be determined by the GM taking into consideration the size of ship and distance being folded.
