The power to utilize practices that are liminal in nature. Variation of Supernatural Arts.
Also Called[]
- Liminal/Threshold Arts/Techniques
Capabilities[]
The user can utilize the Liminality Arts, a specialized system of techniques based around liminal power. Liminality refers to the threshold aspect that separates two distinct phases. Traditionally, this refers to rites of passage in which the initiate occupies an in-between space between their previous designation and their transformed state. On a larger scale, liminality can be used to describe grander degrees of reality, including architecture (passageways and paths), time periods and events (twilight, solstices), supernatural locations (Limbo, Purgatory) and even intermediate beings (ghosts, shapeshifters). Through training, an acolyte can gain abilities related to the nature of liminality.
One can learn to transform into states that blur the borders between one defined nature and another, acquiring enhanced physical abilities. Practitioners can control normal and/or supernatural threshold spaces, allowing for terrain manipulation and spatial control skills like teleportation. One can learn to draw strength from or even manipulate liminal time periods or events like equinoxes and eclipses. A user could even learn to control intermediate entities like lycanthropes, gaining a special degree of life control. Learning to control liminal aspects allows for a definitive set of powerful abilities.
