Another I haven't written up yet but on my list is Enhanced Move (Ground) for say a Courier/Express Style that rather than built for fighting is a style built for a pony express type group.
Both applications limit faster or better travel to certain elites, but players could learn them and they could be common enough that most nobles or powerful martial artists have one or the other yet the common folk dont.
That's not bad, but not everyone is going to have access to Light Walk. My thought is that it's something that everyone could benefit from. Perhaps it's a minor magic most have. Or perhaps it's some kind of perk to be able to use the magic inherent in the roads.
