What is the name of this magic ability¿?

[SERIA]

Hi, I am new to the forum and I am working on a project that I am kinda stumped on.

I am trying to come up with as many magical abilities as possible and unfortunately I am coming up with more definitions of abilities rather that actual names of abilities.

Anyway, here is my question:

What magical ability does this definition belong to:? "The ability to walk through walls".

Please help, and pre-thank you.

[Leto]

Intangibility.

[SERIA]

thank you.


I never would have though of that.

[SERIA]

I have one more.

Definition: "ability to create a holographic projection of ones self without the use of technology" (only magic).

[Leto]

astral projection ?

[stencyl]

I was going to say the same.

[SERIA]

That is what I have heard, but I was/am not sure if where I heard it is a reliable source. (The t.v. show, "Charmed")

Thanks for your help.

Astral Projection isn't really creating a holographic image - it's just projecting your consciousness out of your body, but I've never heard of an ethereal/visible image being formed.

I've never heard of the holographic thing specifically, although Astral Projection is about the closest thing I can think of too.

IRL i don't know. But in most movels or comics, astral projection can be seen by others if the owner/projectionist wants.

I suppose some kind of Light manipulation (ala Dazzler) could also be used but that's would mean the visual contact between the magician and the projection.

This is just essentially a form of Illusion I suppose.

Astral Projection is usually considered invisible (although I agree some comics 'allow' the person to choose whether or not to be seen - i.e. Dr Strange)

in D&D it was a spell called "Mirror Image" although I suppose that's not very helpful!"

Err, and Ben Kenobi and Yoda projections ? Were they only visible to Force wielders ?

yep, illusion...

Oh, and the first one could be called "phasing"... When you send one solid body "out of phase" with another... (For examples - Star Trek: TNG and ShadowCat from X-MEN)

Magic and Science Fiction are so interwoven...

*put on her professoral glasses*
Shadowcat is referring to her ability as "phasing" but the regular name in the Marvel univers is intangibility. She's reffered like this by Pr. Xavier and Richard Reeds, and the same goes with the Vision, Shinobi Shaw - (when they use their density manipulation powers like this), Scanner and many others.

To be brief, use whatever name please you.
And in general, depending the way your characters uses it and the way you define them, several magic abilities can lead you to similar results.

phasing is also refered to in mutant X. Astral projection tends to be more of a spiritual manifestation, than one of concious magic. In that case I would definatly say that it could be a form of illusion.

In several sources, there are spells that allow you to "duplicate" yourself, so that you can appear in multiple places and interact...
