Abilities

Tunnellers are able to sink into surfaces and tunnel through them. The ground opens up as they enter and closes as they leave, leaving hundreds of tiny cracks. They can also reach through a surface with just one part of their bodies, and can take people with them.

The disadvantage is that the eyes of Tunnellers must be scooped out to make room for the magic. They gradually regain sight, but can see in the dark and don't handle brightness well.

Sanguine was able to tunnel through a person. It is unknown if this is a known Tunnelling method.

They are also immune to magic-binding and can escape any cell.
