Whippersnapper: Normally a whip requires a clear path to the target and a clear hex behind the wielder in order to deliver unimpressive strikes.

With this variation of the Rope enchantment (same costs and effort) a magical whip can ignore third parties, entangle foes, and be used as an impromptu grapple to swing across open spaces, releasing its grip at the mental command of the wielder.

So whenever you see someone doing "impossible" "cinematic" things with a whip you can be sure that it's a whippersnapper.
