When you cast this Magical Ability, or at the start of their turns, any opponent currently upon a Square where you have created illusions must make an Opposed Perception or Clairvoyance (whichever is higher) Skill Check against your Use Magic Skill (if multiple opponents are using this Skill Check, you only roll once and each of them compete against that result independently).

This effect cannot be used against Attacking Maneuvers that possess an Area of Effect.

Additionally, if you use this effect, you may spend 3(T) Ki Points to pause Combat. While Combat is paused, both you and the opponent who attempted to use Instant Transmission each will take a turn – the order of said turns following your current Initiative.

Spirit Transporter

You may instead select a Basic Item, Special Item, Ingredient or Weapon possessed by an Opponent (you must be aware they possess the item). If you do, and you successfully win the Opposed Save, you may transport that selected target to one of your free hands.

If you have access to the Spirit Absorption Transformation, you may forgo gaining Life Points or Ki Points through Planetary Consumption and spend One Action to use the Transformation Maneuver to attempt and enter the Spirit Absorption Transformation. If you do, gain +1(T) Spirit Power.

If you are currently in the Spirit Empowerment or Spirit Absorption Transformations, you may gain +1(T) Spirit Power instead of gaining any Life Points or Ki Points.

Super Donut Volley

When making your Magical Binding a Galactic Donut, you may increase the Ki Point Cost by an additional +2(T) to make it a Donut Volley instead. A Donut Volley follows all the rules of Magical Binding and Galactic Donuts, but increases all of your Opposed Ability Checks tied to this Magical Ability by +1(T).

When an opponent becomes Bound through a Donut Volley, you may spend an additional Action to apply the Pinned and Guard Down Combat Conditions to them until the end of your next turn or until they stop being Bound. If you do, they are trapped in a ball named the Ultra Volleyball while they are Bound. When an opponent is trapped in the Ultra Volleyball, you may move them to a Square adjacent to you (you decide which Square).

Once per Combat Round, if an opponent is trapped in the Ultra Volleyball and is currently on a Square adjacent to you, you may spend One Action to declare it’s Volleyball Time! After declaring it’s Volleyball Time!, you may make a Basic Attack Maneuver of the Simple Profile against the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball. During Volleyball Time!:

• Any Basic Attack Maneuvers of the Simple Profile that successfully strike (hit) the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball will allow the attacker to move the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball to the closest adjacent Square of an ally of their choice. If they do, that ally may make a Basic Attack Maneuver of the Simple Profile as an Out-of-Sequence Action. Each combatant can only make an Attacking Maneuver in this manner once per Volleyball Time!
• After any Attacking Maneuvers that were made against the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball that are not Basic Attack Maneuvers of the Simple Profile, the opponent stops being Bound and Volleyball Time! is over.
• Once per Volleyball Time!, the character who Bound the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball may make a Spike! A Spike! is a Basic Attack Maneuver of the Powered Profile. Increase the Wound Roll of a Spike! by +1(T) for every character other than the character who Bound the opponent trapped in the Ultra Volleyball who successfully struck (hit) an opponent during Volleyball Time!
• No combatant can wager more than 4(T) Ki Points on a Basic Attack Maneuver. A Spike! is not limited by this rule.

Energy Web

As an Instant Action, you may use the Magical Binding Magical Ability against a willing ally within 8 Squares of you. If you do, instead of applying the usual effects of Magical Binding, you may move them any number of Squares towards your current position.

Psycho Thread

• Technique Point Cost. 7 TP
• Prerequisite. Energy Web

When making your Magical Binding an Energy Web, you may increase the Ki Point Cost by an additional +2(T) to make it a Psycho Thread instead. A Psycho Thread follows all the rules of Magical Binding and Energy Web, but at the start of each of your opponents turns, they lose Ki Points equal to your Force or Spirit Modifier (whichever is higher).

If your opponent loses Ki Points through the effects of Psycho Thread, they must immediately make a Stress Test. If your opponent’s current Ki Points is equal to or lower than 1/2 of their Maximum Ki Point Pool, reduce their Dice Score when rolling Stress Tests by -1(bT).

Threaded Energy

• Technique Point Cost. 10 TP
• Prerequisite. Energy Web, Force or Spirit Score 20+

When making your Magical Binding an Energy Web, you may increase the Ki Point Cost by an additional +2(T) to make it Threaded Energy instead. Threaded Energy follows all the rules of Magical Binding and Energy Web, but each time the Bound character attempts an Opposed Ability Check against you to free themselves from being Bound, they take Lethal Damage equal to your Force or Spirit Modifier (whichever is higher).

Instead of targeting another character when using Magical Binding, you can choose to scatter webs of ki. Every Square within 3 Squares of your current position becomes Threaded. Threaded Squares violently explode when any combatant other than you moves over them, dealing Standard Damage equal to your Force or Spirit Modifier (whichever is higher) for every Threaded Square they move over (apply Soak after calculating the total damage for each Square moved). After a Threaded Square is moved over, it stops being Threaded.

You can stop all currently Threaded Squares from being Threaded by spending an Instant Action during your turn.

Kamikaze Ghosts are not created via the Minion Creation rules and instead have the same Tier of Power, Attribute Modifiers, Transformations and Signature Techniques as you. Any Kamikaze Ghosts are automatically in the same Transformation as you when created. Decrease their Combat Rolls by -1(T). Their Life Points are equal to 1/10th of your Maximum Life Points instead of 1/5th.

When a Kamikaze Ghost makes physical contact with another character, they make an Explosion Profile Basic Attack Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Action.

If they win, you may transform one piece of Apparel they are currently wearing into Transformed Food, which will appear on an adjacent Square to that character of their choice. If you succeed, that character must make an Opposed Cognitive Save against you. If they win, their Size Category is set to Tiny and they gain the Transfigured Combat Condition. If you win, that character is completely transformed into a Transformed Food, gains the Prone Combat Condition and cannot take any actions.
