Add a new rule to the dynastic ruleset, with the title Levels of Reality:
Each Mindjacker has a Level, which is a publicly-tracked non-negative integer defaulting to 1.
Each top-level dynastic rule except this one has a Tier, which must be in its title; such rules are called Tier Rules. A Mindjacker is only required to obey, can only be affected by, and may only utilise the actions of Tier Rules whose Tier is equal to or lower than their Level. Where a Mindjacker is subject to Tier Rules that make contradictory statements, the higher-Tiered rule has priority over the lower. A Mindjacker treats all Tier Rules with a higher Tier than their Level as if they were flavour text.
Subrules beneath a Tier Rule always have the same Tier as their parent rule.
Whenever a Mindjacker Ascends their Level increases by 1, and when they Descend their Level decreases by 1. A Mindjacker may not Ascend more than once in any 24 hour period. A Mindjacker may not Ascend if doing so would set their Level to a value greater than the highest Tier of any dynastic rule in the ruleset, and may not Descend if it would set their Level to a value lower than 1. A Mindjacker may not Ascend unless they meet the Ascension Criteria in every Tier they are affected by.
Add a new dynastic rule, called Tier 1: Yanking:
Yanking is an action in which a Mindjacker switches Level with another Mindjacker whose Level was, immediately prior to the Yanking, exactly one greater than their own.
If a Mindjacker carries out an Action associated with a Tier one lower than their current Level, then they may be Yanked by any Mindjacker whose Level is equal to that Tier, provided that the Yanking takes place within 10 minutes of the inciting action.

Not a huge fan of the fast response mechanic but eh. The ascension criteria for Tier one seems very clunky, especially because all future tiers will also be subject to it despite it specifically naming Tier 2. The way I read it was that there is a set of criteria to be met for each tier, and as higher tiers are achieved then you have to meet progressively more criteria to ascend. Maybe define Ascending as a daily action just as a baseline action and say that it is subject to the criteria of each tier?
