Equivalencies
-IMAGE PROJECTION II
Rather than projecting your own image over the telepathic network, project individual images from your memories. This enables the creation of a visible ‘gallery’ other Investigators can see, without immersing them in a full memory playback, or can be used decoratively or creatively.
-HAMMERSPACE I
The ability to bring up to twenty-five pounds of objects into Liminal Space at a time and have them remain present when you’re not looking at them or carrying them (object permanence). This also permits you to open a small portal and retrieve those objects from liminal space whenever you wish.
Arcana
-THE HIGH PRIESTESS
-CONJECTURE
Once per jaunt, discern one possible truth about a confusing situation. This possibility may or may not actually exist, but with the facts at hand, it could.
-INSIGHT
Once per month, perceive one secret one target is concealing. If the target you name is concealing multiple secrets of comparable importance, you have no control over which is revealed to you.
-KNOW THYSELF
Once per jaunt, examine yourself for any external influences or status effects. This may not help you shake off those influences or effects, but you will discover them, and knowing, as they say, is half the battle.
-PRIESTESS'S AURA
Once a month, for ten minutes per Favor Skill possessed, the Traveler emanates an aura with a radius of twenty feet per Favor Skill possessed. Travelers within that Aura at the moment it is invoked cannot be positively identified by others as long as the aura persists and they remain within twenty feet of its invoker. Shadows, echoes, and the scent of rain on dust obscure all identifying characteristics.
Dungeon
-MAGE OF TIME
Mages understand their aspect, even as they suffer from it, and use the knowledge they have gained to act. Time is all about time, endings, accepting death, and inevitability. So the Mage of Time would discover knowledge about the future and the past in visions, have a perfect sense of exactly when any given thing will happen, and use their knowledge and powers to ensure that it happens, even if this fate would kill them all.
A god-tiered Mage of Time would be a temporal scout and general predictor of the future. They would be able to transport their consciousness or physical body through time to check up on any events they needed to, making them skilled tacticians and scouts. They would also probably be able to learn from doomed timelines, making sure their team stayed on the right path. They would take a much less active role and merely tell the team about what they should do, also acting more like a Seer. In short, the Mage of Time has the potential to a brilliant information gatherer.
Liminal Skills
-DIMENSIONAL SENSES
The ability to sense the existence and operation of portals and determine the size and shape of the space on the other side of them.
-HAMMERSPACE II
The ability to bring up to one hundred pounds of objects into Liminal Space at a time and have them remain present when you’re not looking at them or carrying them (object permanence). This also permits you to open a small portal and retrieve those objects from liminal space whenever you wish.
-INTRA-LIMINAL SKILLS
The ability to access Liminal Space skills in Shadow, Dream, and Dungeon spaces where they would typically be nonfunctional.
-LIMINAL BRIDGE I
Once per Jaunt, cross the Jaunt/Walkabout Boundary.
-LIMINAL ENDURANCE

-LIMINAL MANIPULATION II
The ability to add or subtract unreal items of up to fifty pounds while within liminal space- grants the ability to create nourishing food and water and complex machines or small electronic devices.
-LIMINAL POWER
Once per day, a Liminal skill has double the effect (choose one of duration, weight limit, size, or distance with every use), or may be used even if it is still during its "cooldown" cycle. This skill may be selected multiple times. Requires any three other Liminal Skills.
-LIMINAL TEMPLATE
Create a ‘mold’ of an object which enables others, who may not understand its physical structure, to nonetheless duplicate it with Liminal Manipulation. You cannot create a template of an object you do not understand well enough to construct. The ‘mold’ is a translucent ectoplasmic framework the same size and shape as the object to be duplicated.
-PORTAL CREATION (STATIONARY)
The ability to create a portal entering or exiting Liminal Space at any time, not only at the beginning or end of a Jaunt. If you are not in Liminal Space, the portal must be within ten feet of you. If you are within Liminal Space, it must open onto your last crossover point into Liminal Space; i.e., if you portalled out of the bus stop, you must portal back into the bus stop, rather than into the restaurant a block away. You may open no more than one portal every six hours and hold it open no longer than ten seconds, but the portal can be any size (within reason).
-PORTAL CREATION (REMOTE)
The ability to create a portal into or out of Liminal Space once every six hours and hold it open for ten seconds somewhere other than your current location or last crossover point.
-SUMMON CREATURE
LOHAC Crocodile

-TELEPORTATION III

-WARDROBE MANIPULATION II
The ability to near-instantaneously change costumes or outfits made of any mundane or Jaunt-appropriate material, whether or not you are in Liminal Space. Also works in Liminal Space, though any Jaunt-appropriate materials would no longer be accessible. THis includes other Travelers.
Psychic Skills
