Door Pathway Abilities

Apprentices of the Door Pathway gain the Door Opening ability, letting them open things related to Doors. Using the unique traits of the Spirit World, an Apprentice can phase through walls and other large obstacles by opening a symbolic, incorporeal Door, provided no Beyonder restrictions are present and the barrier is not too thick. In mysticism terms, as long as a barrier can still be called a wall by conventional human understanding, it is not considered too thick; if an Apprentice is buried more than 10 meters underground, whether they can escape depends on the terrain. Apprentices cannot bring other people along with this ability but can bring items on their body, and can still use it even if their connection to the Spirit World is blocked. They can open any lock lacking mystical power, as well as a small number reinforced with Beyonder effects. Door Opening can also be used on specific body parts, creating an Opening there; at a higher level, applying it to one's own body turns it ethereal, notably letting the user dodge a bullet, though at their current Sequence doing so would grievously injure them.
