'''Phasing''' is a [[Mutations#Physical Mutations|physical mutation]] that grants the ability to willingly shift between [[phased|out-of-phase]], or "phased", and in-phase. Being phased makes the player physically intangible to any creature or object that is not phased itself, or that is not [[omniphase]]. | |||
The player is able to pass through solid structural objects while phased, such as walls. If the player is phased and standing inside a wall that is surrounded by 8 other walls, and then phases back in, they will [[Achievements#The_Laws_of_Physics_Are_Mere_Suggestions.2C_Vol._1|violate the Pauli exclusion principle]], [[Instant death|killing them instantly]]. Otherwise, the player will be shunted into a nearby empty spot once they phase back in. | |||
Phasing grants the "Phase" ability, which can be toggled on or off to phase the player in and out, respectively. It's cooldown is not incurred until the player phases back in, whether manually or through the duration running out. | |||
If a creature is forced to phase back in for any reason, such as by coming into contact with {{favilink|normality gas}}, the creature will suffer {{heart}}{{dice tooltip|2d6}} damage. | |||
