System: The mage places her cat-skin hood over her head like a shroud and covers herself entirely within her blue cloak, symbolically becoming one of the dead. She begins to chant the gand, slowing her body's natural functions to a crawl until her soul comes forth from her mouth and enters the Underworld. Traditionally, this will be performed while sitting atop a barrow or grave, where the boundaries between life and death are thinner. The mage astrally projects herself into the Shadowlands, where she may move about as if she were a ghost. As with all uses of astral projection, this ability is unaffected by the Avatar Storm.

At present, travel in the Shadowlands is a dangerous undertaking. Storms rage among the lands of the dead, often with a force comparable to hurricanes. These storms tend to spew forth shrapnel, caustic chemicals and even worse. Enter at your own risk.
