Phase: Difference between revisions

In-Phase is the most common state, and is the default. If not otherwise specified, an object is In-Phase. Almost everything found in Qud is in this phase state.

In-Phase objects can interact with other In-Phase objects (as well as Omniphase objects), but not with Out-of-Phase objects.

In-Phase is the lowest-priority phase state.

Out-of-Phase is the second-most common state, indicated by the [[Phased]] effect. It is normally only achieved through special means, such as the [[Phasing]] [[Mutations|mutation]], or a {{favilink|Shade oil injector}}.

Out-of-Phase objects can interact with other Out-of-Phase objects (and Omniphase objects), but cannot interact with In-Phase objects.

Because almost everything in Qud is In-Phase, the ability to switch to Out-of-Phase can be very powerful, allowing one to walk through walls or escape from attacks by In-Phase enemies, among other things.

Omniphase is the second-rarest state, indicated by the [[Omniphase]] effect. It is restricted to only a few objects, such as the beam of a {{favilink|decarbonizer}} or the shots of a {{favilink|phase cannon}}.

Omniphase objects can interact with both In-Phase and Out-of-Phase objects, as well as other Omniphase objects.

Switching from Out-of-Phase to In-Phase while inside an In-Phase wall will either place the player in adjacent empty tile or, if there are no adjacent empty tiles, will instantly kill the player and grant the [[Achievements#The Laws of Physics Are Mere Suggestions, Vol. 1|The Laws of Physics Are Mere Suggestions, Vol. 1]] achievement.
