Capabilities

The user is able to move through solid objects and ignore most physical effects in their way, exact means how this is done vary between slipping partially into other dimensions, being able to make their own particles move between other particles, being non-physical being of energy, vibrating their molecules into a new quantum frequency, etc. Regardless the user is able to ignore most attacks, physical dangers, and gravity.

The user can also fuse objects into people making it intangible/untouchable and unreachable.

Applications

Air Walking/Flight/Levitation
Ignore most forms of energy (heat/cold, light, etc.) and physical objects, whether solid, liquid, or gas.

Limitations

Intangibility Cancellation/Intangibility Immunity
Electricity can bridge the molecules in quantum phasing. Potentially harming the user even while insubstantial.
May need to hold their breath while inside solid objects.
Some materials/effects may be un-passable.
- May be affected by energy or mystical effects.
May be limited in terms of effect (some may only be able to allow physical attacks to phase through their bodies, for example).
May only be able to phase certain parts of the body.
May be able to be harmed by other intangibility users.
- Other intangible users may counter phase the user.
May be limited to either solids, liquids, gases, or something else.
May need to hold their breath while intangible as air could pass right through them.
May fling out of whatever planet or object that they are on as they even pass through gravity.
