Worldhopping is an ability which is used to move from place to place in the Physical Realm instantaneously. Anyone who Worldhops can go to different planets, as well as move about on the planet they're already on. So far this ability is only confirmed to be able to be used by those with access to certain manifestations of Investiture.
