Some types of [[Void Ship|interdimensional vessels]], such as [[hypership]]s, could be used to shift artificially if one did not have personal shifting powers, in some cases by means of a [[dimensional shift engine]]. However, not all interdimensional vessels were described as “shifting”. | Some types of [[Void Ship|interdimensional vessels]], such as [[hypership]]s, could be used to shift artificially if one did not have personal shifting powers, in some cases by means of a [[dimensional shift engine]].

Some versions of [[Jenny Everywhere]] could shift themselves, physically to another universe, or mentally into the body of one of their counterparts in said other universes, at will in a split-second, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Late Shift (comic story)|The Late Shift]]'') although others had trouble controlling how, when or where they would shift.

Physical shifting usually had telltale markers, but they varied from Shifter to Shifter and from world to world. Visually, Jenny could emerge wrapped in a rainbow ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Afrenasia (comic story)|Afrenasia]]'') or merely blink into existence; ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'', ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'') she was once seen to disappear in what looked like an explosion ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere is Back for the First Time (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere is Back for the First Time]]'') or in a flash of light. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'', ''[[Psychopomp (short story)|Psychopomp]]'') Likewise a variety of sounds could be produced, including ‘SHIFT!’, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Redistribution (comic story)|Redistribution]]'', ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') ‘POOF!’, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Something Wasn't Right.

Some Jennies' physical appearance and attire shifted subtly when she moved from one dimension to the next, as a form of disguise, although this was not universal.

Some Jennies | === Shifting items === | ||
Some shifters, including some incarnations of Jenny, could shift items other than themselves, either summoning or banishing them. Some Jennies could use shifting at will to change clothes, or even put on make-up, instantly, even when this did not correspond to a change of dimension. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere in the House of Terror]]'') For some Jennies, such as [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|the one]] who travelled onboard the ''[[Wilson]]'', shifting objects into their grasp was an exchange: they made an object they were already holding switch places with one in another universe. The change could be random, subconsciously-guided, or controlled with greater precision. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') The [[Jenny Everywhere#On the Discworld|Jenny]] of the [[Discworld]] could summon objects to her close vicinity without actually having to touch them, enabling her to shift more sand into an hourglass without opening it.
