Descorrer
CharacterDescorrer is the method Arrancar use to tear open a Garganta, the spiritual corridor that joins Hueco Mundo to the Human World. A simple sweep of the hand parts the void, letting the user step between realms far more smoothly than a lesser Hollow could manage.
Overview
Descorrer names the act of opening a Garganta at will, the passage through which Hollows and Arrancar move from Hueco Mundo into other worlds. The name renders as a drawing back or loosing of the void, and among Arrancar it marks a cleaner, steadier way of crossing than the crude rifts torn by weaker beings.
Mechanics
Arrancar and Hollows travel between realms along corridors known as Garganta. An Espada-tier Arrancar can part one with nothing more than a gesture, and a passage opened this way holds far steadier than the ragged tears made by lower Hollows. The user simply walks into the resulting gap, which seals cleanly behind them before reopening at their chosen destination.
