Space Powers (FiD)
Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page |
Governs location and distance, and is thus the power to teleport and create extradimensional spaces.
Space governs the position of all things in this universe and others. It is a very ordered form, at odds with powers like Flux and Time that represent change. Yet space magic is used to break the barriers between worlds and shatter the very rules it seems to uphold. The signature power of Space is teleportation.
Space attacks cut and dislocate.
Space creatures are alien Lovecraftian horrors from outer space or the wrinkles of reality. Learning who to summon may require study or be a score in itself, and even if you get it right these creatures are very dangerous. Getting it wrong is usually the last thing you do.
