Astral Techniques
Cosmic Spiritual Energy Arts/Techniques

Capabilities[]

The user can utilize the Astral Arts, a specialized system of techniques based around astral power. There are many types of subtle body, the uniquely etheric essence found in many living beings that features physical, mental and spiritual aspects. One of most well-known is the astral body. This energetic attachment is said to act as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. It is most often described during instances of unconsciousness, when it is said to detach from a person’s physical form and roam freely. It often travels to the astral plane, an alternate, ethereal world with features both fantastically different from and similar to the physical space.

Though releasing one’s astral body is often an involuntary event, there are circumstances where one can learn specialized techniques that allow users do far more. Basic training allows one to voluntarily exhibit astral projection, letting them travel to far off locations in both the physical and spiritual worlds. It could even be used to possess others, allowing one to control their bodies. One can learn to channel the energies of the astral form, whether they are conscious or unconscious. Potentially, practitioners can learn to manipulate the astral plane itself, granting them a uniquely potent form of supernatural influence.
