power skating is a special effect that replaces sprinting if the user has rocket skates equipped.[1]

The power skating effect is identical to sprinting except for the following differences:

  • power skating has unlimited duration, as long as the user's rocket skates still have fuel remaining.[1][2]
  • Every while power skating, the user will emit some smoke.[3]
  • If the user moves while power skating, they will emits a 4-cell-long jet of flames behind them, essentially equivalent to Flaming Ray at level 3.[4][5]

This effect is compatible with springing.[1]
