Deep Mirror
Step into a mirror and out of its pair. It needs a mind that has fallen out of step before.

A Deep Mirror takes you through a Through-Mirror: you step into one and out of its pair. Home and mine, workshop and altar become a single step — within one world. Right-click a mirror that has a pair and stay close for a second and a half while the glass opens; step away and it closes.
A full mirror holds three steps (a step is 16 charge of 48); fill it at a Charging Basin. A step leaves a Ripple: the mind does not like being in two places at once. Under the Hush there is no Ripple. The mirror does not lead between worlds, nor through the frozen glass of the Stillness until the land thaws. Someone else's mirrors let you through only if their owner opened them to guests. Sneak and right-click a mirror with it, and it will send things into that one, like a Pocket Mirror.
In the Stillness mirrors stand like water — smooth and empty. The Still believed a mirror is a moment stopped: you look, and time does not pass. The Deep Mirror argues with them: in its glass the flux runs even where feet cannot go.
