While inhabiting the ghostly form provided by Partial Manifestation, you are no longer limited to casting only Spiritual or Semi-Spiritual magic and may instead cast any spell known to you. Spells without the Spiritual or Semi-Spiritual attribute are harder than normal to cast in this form however and you suffer a -2 penalty to your Spellcasting skill when attempting to do so.
In addition spells of this kind are less Power-efficient than normal – with Minimal-cost spells each requiring a full point of Power to maintain and other spells functioning as though they contained half as much Power as is actually invested in them (round down). Thus a spell with a Power Cost of 1 to 4 would require at least 2 Power to function at all, and could accept up to 8 – although in practice it would still operate as though it contained 1 to 4. This Power reduction also affects the spell's interactions with other magic – thus making it more vulnerable to Power Counterspell, for example. Spells of this type cannot be Overcharged.
