 Most things in the Swift can't directly affect things on the Grid, and vice versa. Most actions, spells, and class features function in a comparable way in the Swift. This includes choices like Hide, cast ''Invisibility'', and cast ''Fireball.'' Some things may have different functions or effects in the Swift, including unpredictable effects (GM's choice).
-The local environment of Swift is often similar to the Grid. For example, if there's a blizzard on the Grid, then the Swift is likely windy and cold. It may even be more stormy. Thus, the Swift may not offer respite hazards on the Grid.

-Most beings from the Grid can only remain in the Swift for a limited time. In some cases, the magic that brought you there expires. In most cases, your mind and body need to return to their natural environment. If you stay too long in the Swift, then you may experience negative effects (GM's choice). It's especially dangerous to sleep in the Swift: between its liminal nature and the kinds of beings that roam the Swift, a sleeping mind can be very vulnerable.

 == Entering the Swift ==
-Different paradigms have different means for entering the Swift.  Most means are some form of ''shifting'' or ''projecting''. You can shift yourself into the Swift, leaving nothing behind on the Grid. Alternatively, you can create a projection of yourself in the Swift, leaving your physical body behind on the Grid. There are pros and cons to each means of entering. Your paradigm and/or your means of entering the Swift may dictate whether you can shift, project, or either (DM's choice).

-You always have just one HP pool, whether you're on the Grid, projecting, or shifted. It includes any Temporary HP. If you project, any effects that target your body will affect you.
+You always have just one set of Wounds, whether you're on the Grid, projecting, or shifted. If you project, any effects that target your body will affect you.
-If you shift to the Swift and die, you actually die. If you project and die in the Swift, you don't die. Instead, you return to your body. Your body now has exactly 1 HP and gains 3 levels of Exhaustion. (If that much Exhaustion would usually cause death, it does so.) If you project and your body dies on the Grid, then you may actually die, or become a spirit or have a different experience (DM's choice).

+Most beings can "fast travel" in the Swift once per turn. It must be your only action.
 * Fast travel uses all your movement.
 * You choose a point of arrival. You must have a clear anchor at the point. This anchor can be line of sight, a memory of being there, a psychic connection to someone there, a live camera feed, or something else. The GM decides if your anchor is sufficient for fast travel.
 * If there are no barriers in the Swift between your points of departure and arrival, then the trip is nearly instantaneous.
