	'''Jump''' is a spell that grants the recipient the ability to leap into the air, allowing them to bypass obstacles, cross [[Chasm\|crevasses]], or ascend vertically to reach high places. Beyond mere traversal, this power enables the recipient to bound across the battlefield, swiftly engaging scattered enemies by covering great distances in a single leap.

-Jumps may be between 10 and 30 ft., or 2-6 [[Combat Hex|hexes]].  Each 10 ft. distance or part thereof requires 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP).  '''Thus''', if the character Winstead were to make a jump of 25 ft., that would cost Winstead 3 AP.

+Jumps range between 10 and 30 feet, or 2-6 [[Combat Hex|hexes]]. Each 10-foot increment, or part thereof, consumes 1 [[Action Points|action point]] (AP).  Thus, if the character Winstead performs a 25-foot leap, the action costs 3 AP. The target hex must be clear of combatants and obstructions to ensure a safe landing. Jumping into an occupied space, onto an unstable surface or towards a location requiring a mid-air grab necessitates a [[Dexterity (ability stat)|dexterity]] [[Ability Checks|check]].
-: '''For example''': if Winstead were to leap 20 ft. upwards to catch a tree limb, that would require a check; likewise if he were to try and jump to across a room to land on a stool, which wouldn't be a stable surface.  With regards to the tree limb, if he failed the check, he'd [[Falling|fall]] 20 ft.; if he failed the check while landing on a stool, he'd merely [[Collisions & Crashes|crash]] to the floor, taking 1-6 damage, rather than suffering a fall.
+: '''For example''': If Winstead leaps 20 feet upward to seize a tree limb, a dexterity check is required. If the check fails, he [[Falling|falls]] the full distance. Similarly, attempting to leap across a room to land atop a stool — an unstable surface — demands a check. Failure results in [[Collisions & Crashes|crashing]] to the floor, causing 1-6 damage rather than suffering full falling damage.
-: If he were jumping into a hex with another person, and failed to make a dexterity check, both he and the other person would take 1-6 damage.  If that other person were an '''enemy combatant''', the check '''is presumed to have failed'''.   Winstead might succeed in stunning the other, knocking that enemy out of the hex — and leaving Winstead in possession of the hex, stunned or not — but otherwise, '''the enemy chooses''' which adjacent hex Winstead ends in, with other nearby enemies making room so that Winstead is left in a hex of his own.
+: Jumping into an occupied hex presents additional risks. If Winstead leaps into a hex containing another person and fails the required dexterity check, both he and the other individual take 1-6 damage. Against an enemy combatant, failure is automatic. While Winstead may succeed in stunning the opponent and forcing them from the hex, leaving himself in control of the space, otherwise, the enemy chooses an adjacent hex for Winstead to land in. Nearby enemies shift accordingly to ensure he is left standing alone in an unoccupied space.

-Recipients may [[Roll to Hit|swing]] in [[Combat|combat]] ordinarily and then use the rest of their movement to jump away.  If the jump is made before attacking, the last spent AP for the jump may ''also'' be applied to the recipient's combat expenditure.
+Recipients may [[Roll to Hit|swing]] in [[Combat|combat]] as normal and then use their remaining movement to jump away. If the jump is executed before attacking, the final AP spent on the jump may ''also'' contribute toward the recipient's combat expenditure, effectively allowing for a seamless transition from movement to attack.
-: '''For example''': Winstead makes a jump of 20 ft. at an enemy, using 2 AP to cover the distance.  He needs 2 AP to swing his mace and hit the enemy upon landing.  Using the 1st AP to jump, Winstead uses his 2nd AP to finish his jump AND start his swing; as he lands, he completes his swing, using 3 AP altogether.
+During the leap, the recipient may also use the motion to [[Drawing a Weapon while Moving|draw a weapon]], just as they would when running forward. This ensures that jumping does not hinder the ability to enter combat fully prepared.
-The recipient can also use the time of the jump to [[Drawing a Weapon while Moving|draw a weapon]], as he'd be free to do if he were using his action points to run forward.
+Jumping does not provoke an [[Attack of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]], allowing the recipient to reposition freely without opening themselves to immediate retaliation.
