Skimming
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
Skimming is a specialized use of the One Power. As a Talent it is a lesser form of Traveling; as such, it does not require the user to know his or her surroundings as well as Traveling, however one must still know the surroundings of the destination point well. Skimming opens a gateway to a pitch dark area, where the user creates a platform, which has a different appearance for everyone, gets on it, and directs in any direction he or she wishes. If anyone falls off that platform, that person will fall forever and die of starvation or sheer terror, unless he or she can channel.
