Phantom Stalker
You can affect the physical world without having to manifest yourself first.
Prerequisite: Manifest.
Aspect: Earth.
Effect
You may spend a karma in order to see and hear the physical world; you do not become visible or audible while doing so. This karma expenditure must be made every turn. You may also spend an additional two karma in order to make yourself seen and heard for one turn. Neither of these abilities require an action.
The character also gains a mental action called Phantom Strike. The character must be able to at least see the physical world in order to use this untested action. Each turn the character uses the phantom strike maneuver, he may spend 1 karma per move in order to perform physical action sequences. The character remains ephemeral, however, so despite making physical attacks, the character is not subject to attacks himself, unless the attacker can strike ephemeral targets. The character’s attacks can be dodged or blocked normally, although if the target cannot see the character, the usually penalties apply.
