I'm trying to work out which superpower can be replicated using the SQUK 2e rules. So far most of 'em can be. "Pocket space" looks like a strange one. Any ideas on how to get that into the game?

off the top of my head

Enhancement this gives you two superpowers
- Impossiable Events Transmutation (eather/Astral whatever your universe is made of)
- State Change (eather/Astral)

that sort of works ish....

And how would you determine the size/mass of what you could put into the pocket space? Use the Psyche stat?

"Temporal manipulation (like The Matrix)
Time travel
Prophecy" Well the prophecy power is replicated by the Information power. But how would you replicate temporal manipulation and time travel in SQUK, considering that such powers can be a massive headache for the SS/GM?
