Process to Actualize Form
subvocalize A lightning flash: / between the forest trees / I have seen water.
This form is commonly known but not commonly actualized, for its actualization brings one to a strange and foreign plane: the River Tethys: a sort of interplanar crossroads or nexus which is difficult to leave. The Aligned who use this power typically are advanced enough with alignment and attunement that they can sustain themselves indefinitely by esoteric means that do not require additional supplies for nourishment or medical attention. Reciting the haiku to oneself while on Tethys will give one cartographic and coordinate knowledge of one's whereabouts -- and, of course, bypass the heavy spiritual cost required for interplanar translocation. This cost is substantial, though it can be mitigated somewhat by increasing one's facility with this form. The cost in order energy remains slight but constant.
