A simple chant in a pre-human language accompanied
by a precise series of hand gestures causes a
blocked path to open. Tariq Rassam used it to part the
sands in his swimming pool and to reveal the secret
door in the deep end.

This ritual could be used to open many kinds of
paths. The snow blocking a pass could be instantly
shifted, as could boulders from an avalanche. A cloud
of chemical weapon gas could be parted. The masonry
in a wall, the running water of a river, or even, if
enough WP were expended, the waters of a sea could
be parted to allow safe passage. Material shifted returns
to its original position in an hour leaving no sign
that anything has happened.

The ritual cannot part living matter.

The amount of matter moved depends on the WP
spent. Spending 1 WP can shift 1 metric ton of material.
Every WP spent costs the operator 1 SAN.
