I'm not convinced about this card. I don't feel like Move actions are the most difficult actions to take in this game. I understand very well the "action compression" it provides, for example if you need two Move actions to get to where you wanna go. But here's the catch:
- You have to pay 3 resources for an otherwise free (at least in terms of resources) action. Considering you can use 1 of your action to get 1 resource, it would require to move 4 locations away to get value out the card
- It does not prevent enemies from making attack of opportunities, so you can't use it as an emergency card
- If you reveal the wrong token, you lose an asset That's too much of wrong sides for my taste :) It's too bad, as the exact same Spell in Arkham Horror the Board Game was probably one of my favorite.
Very situational at least, and until investigators have a way to switch easily cards like Adaptable, it will probably not see much play.
Neither am I.

.. I mean why this, if we have cards like #Elusive ?

It's a decent one of card in my opinion. There should be a situation in each game played where this would save a couple actions mid to late game and make the scenario easier for a good amount of investigators, but it's not amazing or anything. It might even get an upgrade later that let's it happen to a non-revealed location or something which would be enticing.

Moving does suck sometimes when you have to pass a test to get in or out of a location, but since this action is an explicit Move action, it won't even help you with that. Seems like a pretty weak card.

I had a situation in The Pallid Mask where a location connecting the two key locations was divided by a location requiring an agility test (and I drew an encounter that made that spot dangerous if you stayed there till the end of the turn.) Astral Travel saved our mystic from needing to pass by it.

I don't think that the action per resource ratio matters here since investigators rarely spend actions for resources (plus, you get a free one every turn). Like Bronze said, it's a good 1-of card that can really help you get where you need to go when you need to get there.

This card functions REALLY well in Carnevale of Horrors, where time is at a premium and locations can be difficult to get through quickly. Have your Mystic grab an innocent bystander, and (poof), they're saved!

Well, maybe my review was a bit too quick on this card. These days, I tend to include 1 copy of this card in every Mystic deck I built, because there are scenarios with lots of revealed locations, and sometimes you just want to be able to go back to that "resign" location. Situational, but can be a game saver.

I feel like this card should be an asset, like arcane slot, (3 charges), ->Move. Move to any revealed location and reveal a token etc.

This card can be interesting for the end of a scenario where you have to go back to the exit, obviously very situational, but it can successfully solve that kind of scenario.
