Techniques

This power is divided into two branches, some users may be able to use both:

• Immersive: User enters the story as a character, observer or themselves. If they take part of character the user may replace them or merge into the existing one, regardless they gain the abilities (whether racial or personal) and equipment. User may be able to take other people with them into the Story or even take objects out of them into real world. Note that unless they wish to do so, taken objects do not disappear from the story.
• Manifesting: User draws power from single specific character in the story (they may be limited only single one but more likely able to switch between characters every time they use this power). They may simply tap the power without outward changes or become a manifestation the character gaining all their abilities and equipment.
