A psion who masters Attack Phasing can manipulate their telekinetic attacks at long distance, allowing them to become intangible for a short moment and sometimes even change directions before becoming real once again.

There are three levels of Attack Phasing, each level entailing greater skill and requiring completion of the previous level before learning it.

Attack Phasing Level 1 (CTN 39a) - Permits any non-technique telekinetic attack to become intangible for two feet, passing dimensionally through obstacles harmlessly, before reappearing again. Attacks are not permitted to reform inside characters (this applies to all levels of this technique). Each attack may only phase like this once. Requires 60 (45/75) tech days.

Attack Phasing Level 2 (CTN 39b) - Intangibility may now range between the original two feet and ten feet. Also, upon reformation, the user may reorient the attack in any direction, so long as it is in the same form as it was when it phased out. Each attack may phase like this twice. Requires 75 (56/94) additional tech days.

Attack Phasing Level 3 (CTN 39c) - Intangibility becomes potentially indefinite, though the lower limit of two feet remains. The user gains the additional ability to manipulate the momentum of the attack while it is phased out, causing it to move any amount slower than original speed, or up to 50% faster than normal by siphoning damage at a rate of 2 PL of damage lost for every 1 PL of speed gained. Such siphoning is irreversable, and cannot be performed more than once per attack. It is possible to phase out an attack and have it reappear as a perfectly still ball of mass. Attacks may be phased as often as desired, but no more than once per post. Users who are also proficient in the CT "TK Hone" may change the form of their attack while phasing to anything else within their ability without the consumption of a psi slot. Requires 100 (75/125) additional tech days.
