# Ember Dash

[In game]

Dash a short distance toward the cursor.

- **Type:** Movement
- **Mana cost:** 4 at level 1
- **Speed:** 0.16 s
- **Damage:** None
- **Cooldown:** 1.6 s

Lore [Concept]

> For a heartbeat the ember carries the body, instead of the other way round.

## How it works

Dashes toward the cursor: at least 1.5 tiles and at most 8.75, in 0.16 seconds. Walls stop it. Being chilled doesn't slow the dash itself.

## As a gem

A Dexterity gem with the tags Movement. It requires 9 Dexterity at gem level 1; 120 Dexterity at gem level 10; 257 Dexterity at gem level 20; 365 Dexterity at gem level 30.

## Mana cost by level

Costs grow 3.5% per level the gem requires, with the gem at the highest level a character of each level can use; support gems multiply it.
