Just imagine scenes from John Wick but also, every 30 minutes, he can just ‘blink’ up to 7 inches to dodge or connect a punch, kick, grab, close range shot, move just a bit further into cover, etc.
Granted, you would also have to be very careful to not uh, Philadelphia Experiment / phase shift into a fucking wall or some other person or something.

Forget combat, how many times have you nearly missed slipping and falling while climbing stairs because of imperfect foot placement?
Well, for when you actually and up being in a bad enough position to slip, you get to save yourself, positioned perfectly for the next stride.

Thats honestly a very good thing to point out as well!
Stairs, or hiking/walking on any kind of broken terrain… fucking snow, ice…
Yep, there’s a whole ton of more situations where a blink ability could be very practically useful.

How many times have you been about to eat shit, and thought “If only I could fall an additional 7” and really just fuck my day up"
