Difficulty: Difficult
Focus Cost: 4
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: Self
Duration: 10 minutes
Effect/Value: The target becomes intangible.
Resistance: None. (An unwilling target may resist with Will Power.)
Manifestation Options: Arcane (Default), Crystal, Psychic, Shadow, Spirit
Shape Options: Self (Default), Touch
Component Options: Verbal, Somatic, Material Focus
Signature Effect Options: Player’s Choice
Effect: The caster causes the target to become partially or completely intangible, allowing it to pass harmlessly through non-living, non-supernatural solid objects.
While phased, the target ignores difficult terrain, mundane barriers, restraints, and obstacles composed of ordinary matter. The target may freely move through walls, doors, and similar objects, provided it ends its movement in an unoccupied space.
While phased, the target cannot manipulate, carry, or physically interact with ordinary objects or creatures unless the Power is voluntarily ended or another Power specifically allows such interaction.
Equipment worn or carried when the Power is manifested phases with the target.
Example Uses
- Walk through a wall.
- Escape from mundane restraints.
- Pass through a locked door.
- Cross a collapsed tunnel.
- Avoid becoming trapped by falling debris.
- Hide within a solid object (provided the target exits before the Power ends).
Discipline Manifestations
Alteration (Magick): The caster temporarily alters the target’s physical structure, allowing its body to pass harmlessly through ordinary matter.
Conjuration (Magick): The caster shifts the target slightly out of phase with reality, allowing it to exist between the material world and a neighboring supernatural state.
Telekinetic (Psionics): The psion exerts precise psychokinetic control over the target’s molecular interactions, temporarily reducing its physical interaction with surrounding matter so it can pass through solid objects without resistance.
Result Point Enhancements
| RP Cost | Enhancement |
|---|---|
| 1 | Double the Base Duration. |
| 1 | Increase the Base Range to Touch. |
| 1 | The target may carry one additional willing creature in physical contact. |

| 3 | The target may move through supernatural barriers unless opposed by another Power. |
| 3 | The target may make melee attacks while phased, becoming tangible only for the instant of the attack. |
| 4 | Increase the Base Duration to 24 hours. |
Restrictions
- The target must end its movement in an unoccupied space capable of containing it.
- If the Power ends while any part of the target occupies solid matter, the target is immediately displaced to the nearest open space and suffers damage determined by the Game Master.
- Phase does not allow passage through active supernatural barriers unless specifically enhanced.
