[ Magic and Travel in the world of Shutensa. ]
FEET
You guessed it. The majority of travel in Dreamland is via the avatar's own feet. Normal walking speed is normal walking speed, and it may take days, weeks or even months to get between settlements. Terrain is active in shutensa, so mountains are high and hard to climb while punishing temperatures assault avatars. The average Avatar can go 15-18 miles ( 24.14-28.96 km) in a day.
Characters should be well prepared for getting around, otherwise players should take note to write appropriate discomfort or damage.
Walking pace can be sustained, given proper supplies, indefinitely.
WINGS
Just like walking, avatars can use their wings to fly. Sprite-stage avatars can only sustain flight for a few hours, before they must rest for 2x the amount of time spent flying. Full-size avatars can sustain flight similar to walking.

Command -
This reflects a number of lackeys/more-or-less insignificant animals that follow the Shu around and do their bidding. If used in combat, each lackey has a number of hit points equal to (10xlevel of command)/2 with Attack Value of 6 and Defense Value of 4. If they are reduced to 0 hp in combat, they die and do not respawn. The character will have to write out the search for a new lackey to replace their number.

LVL 3 - 4 lackeys
LVL 4 - 6 lackeys
LVL 5 - 8 lackeys

Font of Mana -
This reflects when a character has a particularly large pool of energy reserves or great magical prowess.
LVL 1 - +10 Mana total
LVL 2 - +20 Mana total
LVL 3 - +30 Mana total
LVL 4 - +40 Mana total
LVL 5 - +50 Mana total
Prosthesis -
This reflects when a character has lost or had a limb or other body part modified by magic or technology. A metal arm? A crystal eye? These parts may be assigned a special armor value if they are attacked or used to defend, or they may have a minor special effect (an eye-of-the-wolf could have nightvision ). Such a limb may even act as a natural weapon that can't be disarmed.
LVL 1 - feature offers a minor advantage (values of 2-ish)
LVL 2 - feature offers a small advantage (values of 5-ish)
LVL 3 - feature offers a moderate advantage (values of 7-ish)
LVL 4 - feature offers a good advantage (values of 10-ish)
LVL 5 - feature offers a great advantage (values of 15-ish)
Extra Attacks -
This affects the number of actions, attacks and defense, a character may take in their combat turn. In order to take all their extra actions, they must all be similar in nature (all hand-to-hand attacks, all bow-and-arrow ranged shots). Also, unless the opponents are close together, all the extra actions must be taken against the same target. So a character with lvl 2 in this would have 2 extra + 1 default = 3 attacks and defenses in a turn
LVL 1 - Character gains 1 extra attack and defense each turn
LVL 2 - Character gains 2 extra attack and defense each turn
LVL 3 - Character gains 3 extra attack and defense each turn
LVL 4 - Character gains 4 extra attack and defense each turn
LVL 5 - Character gains 5 extra attack and defense each turn

LVL 5 - +20 damage to all attacks with chosen weapon/attack

LVL 1 - slight heightening of all senses (or x2 ability in one)
LVL 2 - x2 all senses (or x4 ability in one)
LVL 3 - x4 all senses (or x6 ability in one)
LVL 4 - x6 all senses (or x8 ability in one)
LVL 5 - gain a 'sixth sense' as in a danger sense for threats hidden to normal means
Kensei-
'Sword Saint', this reflects an avatars general speed in battle compared to the average human. Normally this is reflected by the Taol stat, but a character with levels 1, 2, or three is respectively faster then body stats 10, 11, or 12 (ie: speed 2 is slightly faster then taol 11)
LVL 1 - 1.5x faster then a human adult
LVL 2 - x2 faster then a human adult
LVL 3 - x3 faster then a human adult, +1 to all initiative rolls
LVL 4 - x4 faster then a human adult, Attack Value and Defense +1
