Cloak of Etherealness

Cloak of Etherealness – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

This silvery-gray cloak seems to absorb light rather than be illuminated by it. On command, the cloak transports the wearer to the space between worlds and makes him intangible, passing through solid objects as though they weren’t there. In this state the wearer makes no noise when he moves. The wearer can perceive the tangible world, and speak normally to those within it, but he cannot pick up normal objects or affect them in any way.

Physical and energy attacks cannot harm the wearer, but he is still vulnerable to psionic and (nonmaterial) magical attacks. Likewise, his physical and energy attacks cannot affect physical opponents. His psi abilities and magic spells can affect the physical world.

Although the wearer can pass through solids, he must still breathe. When moving through a solid object, treat this as if he was swimming underwater for purposes of suffocation. He cannot materialize inside a solid object.

The wearer can carry objects up to his light encumbrance while insubstantial, including clothing and armor. They become physical if dropped. He cannot materialize these objects inside other objects or characters.

The wearer can’t disregard gravity. He must move across a horizontal surface, or along a slope that wouldn’t require Climbing rolls. He still weighs nothing, so he doesn’t leave footprints and can walk on surfaces that wouldn’t support a solid body, such as the surface of a body of water.

Etherealness costs 1 FP per second.

Statistics: Insubstantiality (Can Carry Objects, Light Encumbrance, +20%; Costs 1 FP/second, -10%; No Vertical Move, -10%; Magical, -10%) [72]. Cloak, x0.5; 36 EP.

            TL8 Price: 2 x ($10,000 + 36 x $1,180) = $104,960.
