Flashing Bolts

Flashing Bolts causes the Minstrel or one ally to Move instantly, resembling a flash of lightning after each Turn the Minstrel has. The Move is so fast that it is treated as if the character has teleported to the new location, unaffected by anything that would extend or reduce the distance traveled. Also, when at least 4 SPP is invested by the Minstrel, the character is energized and their Exertion is reduced by 3.

If the Minstrel is Moves this way, Ranges for all other Songs are determined before they Move.

Blessed Flashing Bolts reduces Exertion by 3 more if the Minstrel is investing at least 8 SPP. Righteous Flashing Bolts reduces Exertion by 3 more if the Minstrel is investing at least 12 SPP.
