Origin[]

Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who led an expedition for the Spanish empire, which resulted in the first circumnavigation of the globe. Searching for a westwards route to the Spice Islands, he sailed from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans by the Straight of Magellan. He did not complete the expedition as he was killed in the Philippines.

Effects[]

Allows the user to teleport to a spot seen through the sextant, meaning the farthest it can reach is the viewer’s horizon.
