Loose Gravitation
While bound to Korine, the distance of your long jump and height of your high jump are doubled, and any falling damage you take is halved.
Telefrag
Whenever you cast a spell that teleports you, you can choose to teleport into a space occupied by a creature. When you do so, the creature takes 1d4 force damage for every 10 feet you teleported, up to a maximum of 6d4, and, if you and the creature are within two size categories of one another, it is pushed into an adjacent unoccupied space of its choice.
Spellcasting: Blink
While bound to Korine, you can cast the following spells, without expending a spell slot or material components:
At will: misty step
2/day: dimension door
1/day each: blink, teleportation circle
You regain all expended uses of these spells when you finish a long rest.
Trait: Dimensional Error
While bound to Korine, your body becomes wedged between reality and nonexistence. Your joints, including your neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, seem to have vanished into some other plane, leaving your other body parts loosely floating in their positions. As a result, whenever you are hit by an attack, roll a d20. On a 20, the attack misses
A renowned planar researcher who discovered the true nature of the Void, Korine offers her binders the power to defy physics, chiefly through teleportation.
Legend
Korine was a talented arcanist and planar researcher, among the first to study the Void. After years of research, she made a breakthrough realization: the Void is not simply a mathematical constant, a force, or a dividing boundary, but an actual plane of
existence—like the Ethereal or Elemental Planes— albeit with even stranger rules. When she revealed her findings to her colleagues, they mocked her and decried her discovery, touting centuries old planar models
instead. Undeterred, Korine set about crafting a plane shift spell to travel to and traverse this unexplored Void and ameliorate her reputation. The spell, which drew power from an active sphere of annihilation, functioned perfectly, but its result was disastrous.
Korine cast her spell in front of an audience of fellow arcanists, and in an instant of magical tumult, she was spread thinly across time and space. But in her last moments, she saw the curvature of space, saw it wrap around, and saw the hideous secrets behind it laid bare. And at last, she saw her place in it all. Then she met oblivion.
Appropriately, Korine’s vestige is only loosely associated with reality: her humanoid figure is disconnected at every joint, floating about in a strange orbit, and open, darting eyes cover every body part in the mutilated cloud. Perhaps, this is her physical
personage, which has persisted in the Void. No other creature, after all, has successfully traveled to that strange place, and it is unclear what truly remains of her body or soul.
Personality Trait
While bound to this vestige, you gain the following personality trait: “I hatch elaborate plans on the fly, but don’t always think out the consequences."
