The character's vehicle sparkles with light as it performs impossible feats, slipping around, over, and through obstacles in a moment. For the duration of the scene, the character adds her Essence in dice to all attempts to avoid collisions or obstacles. In addition, the vehicle may freely travel across walls, water, or even air, provided that it does not spend more than the character's Essence in ticks doing so; after that, it must touch down for at least 3 ticks or fall.
