Shadow Riders

Some people will friend and bond with a special horse and gain access to dimensional powers. These people are highly valued for their ability to travel vast distances quickly. The primary power is entering an alternate dimension they call a Shadow dimension (hence the name) where time and space have different rules. However they can summon and shape various types of dimensional energies and use those abilities to enhance mounts, vehicles, and weapons.
They can earn a very good living as couriers or transporting small groups so are typically well equipped and live comfortably.

Shadow Travel

The primary power  of a shadow rider is the ability to enhance their mounts powers to travel between worlds. This works by inscribing a portal on the ground or wall and paying energy to activate it. Once opened the portal stays open for 3d6 seconds allowing anyone who can fit to travel through it. The rider decides where to go when creating the portal (requires an IQ or Navigation (Shadow Space) roll) and travel takes time.The Shadow Space realm is a dim shadowy place with no landmarks or features.If anyone is separated from the rider they will quickly get lost and reappear in the material world when the duration expires. However they have no control over where!

Statistics: Warp (Area Effect,+50%; Can Carry, Extra Heavy, +50%; Costs Fatigue 10 FP, -50%; Divine, -10%; Granted by Familiar, -40%; Immediate Preparation Required, 1 hour, -75%; Requires  Skill Roll (Symbol Drawing), -10%; Slip travel, -25%; Tunnel,+40%; -70%)  30 points..
Riders can increase the Area Effect and reduce the FP cost, though never below 1 FP,
.
Notes: Slip travel is a modifier to Warp that means you cannot travel instantly, Take the penalty for distance and match it to the identical IQ bonus for preparation time and that is how long the journey takes. Also since this is on an instant power FP cost is paid at activation only, the travel time is really just a special effect.
