Express your ghostly silhouette as up to 5 words or one comparably detailed image within 60 feet. It is an observable magical signal, not a creature, decoy with combat benefits, private channel or translated language. Observers require a shared language or code.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.
Historical source references; they do not grant the earlier Power rules.
Make a magical ranged Aspect attack (+5); on a hit deal 1d8 psychic damage. Standalone action: does not add to weapon attacks, Multiattack, Extra Attack, or spell-only riders. Project a brief spectral touch toward one visible creature. Resistance and immunity apply normally. It does not remove reactions, move the target or attack its internal anatomy.
Ends: duration expiry, node removal, Aspect replacement, and any specific ending condition in the effect. Permanent mundane results persist.

Ends: Aspect replacement or dormancy ends access.
Point budget exceeded: 5/2. Ultimate level gate is not met. Ultimate requires one rank-5 node and rank 2 in both other nodes.
Natural level 20, or paid access at 17; rank V in one path and rank II in both others. One shared annual recovery record survives replacement and respec.
Requires legal ultimate allocation and annual readiness or a legal repeat procedure at completion. Interruption ends preparation without activation or strain; crystals already spent on planned-repeat preparation are not refunded. After 1 uninterrupted minute, you and up to eight willing conscious creatures you touch project into the Astral Plane for 1 hour, appearing together at the corresponding departure location chosen by the DM. This does not transport physical bodies or create a doorway. Each body stays at the departure point, unconscious but breathing and subject to ordinary unconscious-body defenses. Each traveller has one conscious astral form, retains its own statistics, class and species features, and gains a flying speed of 60 feet while projected. Each traveller has one shared turn, HP/maximum HP, resources and equipment record across body and form, never an independent duplicate. The form uses existing abilities through their ordinary actions and restrictions; items/ammunition/components used by it consume the originals. Spectral equipment has no separate saleable or transferable existence. Treat body and form as one creature for a single damage event; distinct attacks or events apply normally. Taking damage to either body or form reduces that traveller’s one HP pool and requires its normal concentration save. Existing concentration ends on separation; a conscious form may then start and maintain one concentration despite its unconscious physical body, an explicit Aspect exception. Conditions other than the body’s imposed unconsciousness affect the traveller normally; incapacitation of the form ends that traveller’s projection. Forms can explore the Astral Plane but cannot carry physical matter, sever cords, gain a second equipment/resource pool or leave material benefits behind. Leaving the Astral Plane, reaching 0 HP in the shared pool, body/form death, traveller withdrawal, duration expiry, bearer withdrawal/incapacitation/death, node removal, Aspect replacement or magical suppression ends the applicable projection; bearer endings end the whole group. Return only awareness to the original body, retaining HP, conditions and all spent resources. A return never revives, heals or relocates a body. No suspended aging or permanent resurrection is granted. Annual readiness and bodily strain apply to the bearer at completed activation and cannot be removed by projecting. These multi-plane positions, ordinary class interactions and simultaneous encounters are resolved at the table; no automated combat certification is claimed.
Ends: See exact rules for individual and group endings. All returns preserve shared HP, conditions, resources, annual recovery and strain. Physical bodies and matter are never transported.
At the table: Resolve the one-minute preparation, Astral destination, all travellers, body/form positions, HP/resources and ordinary class interactions at the table.
