The lunar's connection to her familiar becomes so strong that the lunar can call it home in an instant. When the charm is cast, the air between the lunar and her familiar shimmers like quicksilver, no matter how far away the familiar is. This shimmering tunnel briefly forms a channel of Wyld energy that alters the rules of distance, allowing the familiar to travel immediately back to the lunar with a single round of movement, regardless of intervening obstacles.

The tunnel connects a roughly straight line and is immediately obvious to any who see it. Those with quick reflexes may be able to follow the familiar to the lunar's location. In addition, the space inside the tunnel acts as the Deep Wyld, so may spawn creatures or phenomena that reach the lunar. All within the tunnel however, are exposed to the effects of the Deep Wyld, though the familiar itself is protected from its ill effects.

If the familiar is restrained in some way, they cannot travel through the tunnel. If the familiar is in a different realm than the lunar (e.g. the lunar is in the Underworld and the familiar is in creation, or vice versa) the charm fails. Travel is only possible from the familiar's location back to the lunar.
