Level 1 - Enter Periphery By force of will, a spiritualist can
enter the Periphery. He/she doesn't need any external help (drugs, dreams, etc.) The spiritualist can enter at any time he/she
wants and has total control while in the Periphery. He/she can also leave when ever he/she wishes. Though he/she might be
able to enter the Periphery by other means, this level must be learned to use the higher levels of Ephemera.
The spiritualist
goes 'out of body,' his/her spirit leaving his/her physical body and enters the Periphery. It is a good idea to be sitting
or lying down when using this level. The spiritualist in the Periphery has no control or feeling of his/her physical body,
but he/her can find his/her body when he/she returns. The main reason to learn this level is to learn the higher levels, but
a side effect of entering the Periphery is a sense of calm and peace. The spiritualist can roam the Periphery, looking around.
The Periphery doesn't have the same view as the Penumbra, it is like looking through hazy glass. Spirits and other entities,
both good and bad, roam the Periphery, so a spiritualist needs to be careful.
Level 2 - Enhanced Senses
By drawing on the Periphery, the spiritualist can sharpen his senses; see, hear, smell, taste, touch so much more and
better. The spiritualist will also be able to gather more information than normal. Lasts one scene.
Level 3 - Insight The spiritualist can draw upon the energy of
the Periphery to help solve a mental problem, puzzle, or to help with creative thoughts and ideas. People entering the Periphery
through dreams sometimes have insights into problems or gain new ideas. Lasts one scene.
Level 4 -Psychic Shock This level allows a spiritualist to draw (more
like throw) another's spirit temporarily into the Periphery. The sudden shock of suddenly and forcibly entering the Periphery
causes damage to the victim. Can heal the damage normally. Useable only once per turn.
Level 5 - Draw Upon Periphery People who have entered the Periphery
relate that they felt like they were reborn into perfect bodies, strong, intelligent, handsome. The Periphery seems to show
a person's full potential. A spiritualist can make this full potential materialize in the physical world. Lasts one scene.
