Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Additional syntax: EGO FORM <ability> [target]

Gather enough of your considerable psyche and project it into a second entity altogether, becoming the walking embodiment of pure ego. While in this state, you will be able to speak with others and move as though normal. You also may perform a limited amount of your egotism abilities while in this form.

Make sure to omit the EGO syntax from the ability when using it with form. Example: EGO FORM TRIP <target>

You may perform the following actions while in ego form: Aura, Peak, Redress, Trip, Inadequacy, Boast, Sizeup, Trauma, Menace, Pry, Press, Narrow, and Outlaw.

You can also perform the following abilities from Vision: Aura, Sacral, Vibrations, and Traps.

You will not be able to cross into an adjacent area while in your embodiment of ego, as the distance between you and your body will be too far to maintain a connection. However, if your body stands on the threshold between two areas, you will be able to cross into it providing it is not a one-way exit.

Lastly, while in this state, your body will be vulnerable to the whims of others. Ensure that you leave your body behind in a safe location, or you can gamble the risks.
