Effect
Trigger: Any moment during combat.
You briefly phase out of the present moment. Move up to half your Speed without triggering Exposure, free attacks, or Overwatch. You appear to flicker — present, then not, then present again in a new position.
Steps
+½ Speed per Step (Step 1 → full Speed; Step 2 → 1.5× Speed; Step 3 → 2× Speed).
Special
You cannot attack or interact with objects during the flicker. This is purely repositional. The sound of your movement is muffled — enemies who weren’t looking at you may not notice you’ve moved. Subject to the Seer Reaction Convention.
