 Has gained a limited understanding of the alchemy of motion. Although the precise workings of the technique are unclear and it's obviously not alchemy as it's normally understood using this knowledge he is able to distil an elixir that provides mechanisms with '​motion'​. They are not alive and do not have intelligence but can perform the task they were designed to do. He can produce enough of the strange glowing elixir to animate one creation per adventure at a cost of 41 riels worth of esoteric components. Has gained a limited understanding of the alchemy of motion.

 Cormack is under the effect of two (2) Alchemical Manipulations:​ Dumb Drunk provides the obedience effect, while Smoke Bomb is responsible for the smoky, disperse-and-reform effect. The two manipulations are able to exist side-by-side due to Cormack'​s origins as a Raven of the Leader. The Alchemical Manipulation Addiction effects work as usual, though the results of these effects are unknown to the Man of Many Means at present (pending further study). Cormack is under the effect of two (2) Alchemical Manipulations:​ Dumb Drunk provides the obedience effect, while Smoke Bomb is responsible for the smoky, disperse-and-reform effect.

 +As a Soulbound Familiar, Cormack is capable of scouting ahead and allowing MoMM to see through its eyes. When being used in this way, the familiar may make small changes to the area before his arrival and in keeping with its size. For example, after scouting ahead and watched traps being set, it could place small pebbles next to each trap so that they may be avoided upon arrival.

 +    * Once per encounter call JUMP BOOTS ACTIVATE! DISAPPEARING ​as you fly into the air to dramatic heights. ​ Up to 5s later call APPEARING, MASS STRIKEDOWN as you land (which you yourself must take and cannot be resisted by you in any way).  Appropriate "​flying through the air" roleplay during these 5s is heartily encouraged. This can be used to reach high up areas. ​ You should brief the DISAPPEARING/​APPEARING call at the start of any adventure and may customise the phrase "JUMP BOOTS ACTIVATE"​ to your own design.
