The ability to jump without the aid of a physical surface whilst in the air from a previous jump. Variation of Enhanced Jump.
Capabilities
The user uses their own inertia to create a vortex around themselves that substitutes a physical body to propel themselves off of.
Some users can jump infinitely, this is made possible due to their leg strength - using the speed of a kick through the air, one can use the air (which, due to the speed of the kick, could not escape properly) as a sort of cushion of the fall, therefore using it to jump another time. Given that the user has enough power in his/her legs, one can jump as many times as possible. A common video game cliche.
Applications
- Reaching hard to reach ledges
- Jumping large gaps
- Jump to high place.
- Defy gravity for a short period on time
Limitations
- Once the initial vortex has been created, the user cannot generate enough inertia to make another jump until they reach the ground or another tangible surface.
- It may be limited to only ascending use- that is to say, it must be used before the jump reaches the top of its arc.
