Like cmon, imagine if someone in the breakfast round said “Im going to mash all the basket ingredients into a paste and serve it in a bowl!”

The only reason ice cream gets a positive reaction from the judges is because cold cream and sugar make everything taste good.

Any time I see someone make ice cream (so every single episode) it immediately reads to me that they couldnt come up with anything else. Part of the competition is creativity and technical skill, making ice cream demonstrates neither.

Just wanting to get into the dlc fast :) I can pull my weight

Basic Technique

The user can target a space they can see, and instantly travel there over the course of 1 second. If the space is 10 feet away, they will instantly travel at 10 feet-per-second until they arrive at that location.

Invoking the technique is an instantaneous action, so long as a physical incantation is made with one hand and the chosen destination is within sight. If the incantation is held, the user can chain multiple invocations into one continuous zig-zag.

The movement from start to destination is not teleportation; nor is it a physical enhancement to the users legs to enable speed; it is displacement. The users body (in whatever post it is in when the technique is activated) is thrust through space immediately at the speed needed to reach the destination in one second.

Because it is displacement, the laws of physics can and will apply. The users weight is set in motion toward the destination and once it arrives there, it will want to continue being in motion.

The user is also bound to the consequences of the speeds they subject themselves to. If the user invokes the technique in a way they cannot physically endure, the physical toll is instead taxed from their bodies to spare the destruction their speed may have on the world around them. For example: if the user attempted to invoke their technique to jump to to moon(210,000km/s), such a request would subject them to millions of G’s and their body would be obliterated.

Expanded Technique

To allow the user to travel more advanced distances without catastrophic effects to themselves, they can imbue themselves with cursed energy. This process is not efficient, and it is not painless in practice. High levels of CE would be needed to travel ‘destructive’ distances.

A distance of 50 kilometers away (50km/s) would be considered a proud accomplishment for a user of this technique if they only used their expanded technique. At this speed, they create a large shockwave that may push over bystanders.

The user must be careful to not exhaust themselves with reinforcement during the travel, as is only half the battle. CE must also be expended to keep their limbs from being obliterated from impact (whether that impact be foot -> ground or fist -> opponent). This process is even more inefficient than reinforcement during travel; impacting solid surfaces like earth or concrete may be impossible to endure under traditional means.

Reversal Technique

A skilled sorcerer who has an intuitive grasp of RCT is able to expand their maximum distances / speeds significantly. By only enforcing the body with enough CE to prevent total obliteration, the user can focus on positive CE to regenerate their tissues; effectively enduring the gravitational and atmospheric impact of displacement.

Just as it sounds, using the Single Second Step in this way is astoundingly taxing. The difficulty of channeling RCE is rivaled by the difficulty of staying conscious through the pain.

The effects are dramatic, however. A user could potentially travel across oceans with devastating speeds; impacting like an atomic bomb.

The application of RCT in this way is only to survive the displacement enough to provide proper aim; it would not be conventionally possible to survive an impact with most solid objects. In all but the most conservative uses, the reversal of the Single Second Step is a fatal maneuver.

Domain Expansion: Frictionless Vacuum of Space

When deploying their domain, the user and anyone effected enters a void of blackness. Everyone is floating, and the distance from the center toward the barrier of the domain seems endless from the inside. It seems like nothing attached to their bodies is impossible to grasp; as there is no friction. Cursed tools, weapons, etc. cannot be held onto.

Because there is no friction, the user is free to invoke their technique without needing to focus on reinforcing their bodies with CE. Some enforcement is needed to endure impact, but the overall requirement is minimal. The user and all effected still have mass, so the user must use RCT if they wish to move at more extreme speeds.
