The idea of the travel focus is, admittedly, a little murky. It would include people covering longish distances, possibly with goods and chattel. As a result it could cover a multitude of forms, but the technique would almost always be Rego. (I don't want to say always because I might think of something later.) For example, Seven League Stride and Leap of Homecoming would count, but Rise of the Feathery Body would not. Nor would, "Couple Hundred Pace Stride." However, Hermes Portal probably would. "Teleport an animal Seven Leagues" would not. "Horse and Rider Jump Seven Leagues" probably would. (Requiring, of course, Animal with Corpus or vice versa). Push of the Gentle Wave (ReAq) might work, but a version that had duration of sun and allowed course control almost certainly would. Oh! I just thought of a MuTe that would count (although irelevant for Marcus due to imcompatible arts), a spell "Smoothing the Road" with, say, Sun Duration that changes any road or path for say, 10 paces, in front of and behind the caster to a smooth paved surface - and of course, it would revert as he passed. So, it's far more narrow than just "move stuff," implying both people and distance, but a little more flexible in that the means are sort of open. (But Steed of Vengeance is right out, as would be things like growing wings on people or mounts.)
