The Outsider shrines seem to be centered around Runes, and they're also heavily mentioned as icons of power in in-game literature, so they probably do give people some extra power when retrieved. Probably only people with the Mark of the Outsider.

I suppose, but again, if the ability is based around moving really, really fast, and you're trying to travel through the Wall of Light, you're probably still going to get electrocuted to death.

I'd like to see what Corvo's Blinking animation looks like. To me it looks like the Whalers disintegrate their bodies and appear somewhere else; their ability isn't instantaneous (if anything it's slower than Corvo's), but I still don't know whether Blink and Transversals are the same thing.
