Travelling
Concept
A Talent allowing instantaneous transportation between locations by creating a gateway - a hole in the Pattern that connects two distant points. Lost after the Breaking of the World, it was independently rediscovered by both Rand al'Thor and Egwene al'Vere during the Third Age. Men create gateways by boring a hole through the Pattern; women do so by creating a similarity between two locations. A related ability, Skimming, moves through a dark void and requires less precise knowledge of the destination.
