Casting Time: 1 action

Components: V, S, M (a sliver of voidstone)
Duration: 1 round


Voidwalker's Step is a spell that momentarily shrouds the caster in the essence of the void, the space between worlds where reality is but a whisper. This spell is an arcane bridge to the nothingness, a fleeting journey through a realm unseen, unbound by the physical laws of the material world. As you utter the incantation, a chill emanates from the voidstone in your hand, and shadows gather around your feet, as if reality itself is preparing to step aside.

Upon casting, you become a transient visitor to the void, a realm where physical barriers hold no sway. For a moment that stretches and warps within the confines of this spell, you are unbound by walls, doors, and other physical impediments. You can move through them as if they were no more substantial than a wisp of smoke or a stray thought.

Your movement for this round is not a walk but a glide, a silent, spectral passage through the matter. You step into walls and emerge on the other side, cross locked doors as if they were open archways, and pass through barriers as if they were mere illusions. This movement is smooth and uninterrupted, as natural as breathing, yet it defies all logic and understanding.

Voidwalker's Step, however, is a spell of brief duration. Its magic is a delicate thread woven from the fabric of the void, and maintaining it for more than an instant strains against the natural order. As the spell ends, reality rushes back in, the rules of the physical world reasserting themselves with unyielding finality.

This spell is particularly favored by those who seek to explore forbidden places, by thieves and spies who value the ability to bypass barriers undetected, and by adventurers who find themselves trapped or in need of a swift, unorthodox escape.

Yet, the void is a realm of mysteries and dangers, and tapping into its essence is not without risk. Each use of Voidwalker's Step is a gamble, a brief dance on the edge of an abyss. The caster must tread carefully, for lingering in the void, even for the span of a heartbeat, can leave echoes in the soul, a faint but persistent reminder of a place where reality is undone.

Voidwalker's Step is more than a mere spell; it is an experience, a fleeting glimpse into the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the boundaries of our understanding. It is a reminder of the vast, uncharted realms that exist just beyond the veil of reality, waiting to be discovered, or perhaps wisely left alone.
