jétire

Jétire is a fictional term used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing contexts to describe a hypothetical technique of spatial manipulation that extends reach or projects effects along a straight path. While not grounded in real science, jétire is employed as a narrative or gameplay device to explore themes of distance, perception, and control of space.

Etymology and concept: The name is a constructed neologism, blending phonetic elements reminiscent of French jet and tirer. Its definition varies by author, but it commonly involves a temporary field or protocol that bridges distance, redirects trajectories, or aligns multiple objects along a chosen line.

Usage and reception: Jétire appears mainly in homebrew games, fan fiction, and indie role-playing systems. Descriptions range from technical-sounding mechanisms with limits and costs to poetic, metaphorical uses in which characters “draw” space to reach a distant location or affect distant targets. It remains a fringe concept with no canonical standard.

Note: As a fictional construct, jétire has no empirical basis and is not recognized in real-world science.
