Description
Flowriding frees the adept's spirit to inhabit an ephemeral Mana construct, which can then "ride" the flows of Mana.  The adept can sense his surroundings, although the absence of the "distortions" that are an inherent part of material existence requires a period of adjustment.  The adept is also vulnerable to spiritual or Reality-based attacks.  If the Mana construct is destroyed (through a Reality attack), the adept's spirit returns to his body.
The adept's body is very vulnerable while the spirit is away.  Adepts should avoid lengthy periods of flowriding, since the body is open to possession in the spirit's absence.
