Phasic Drive
Type	Matter-phase manipulation device
Developer	Clan Tho'ra
Function	Phasing through solid matter, phase-state shifting
Mechanism	Shifts the user's matter to an alternate phase state
Related	Warp Cores (spacetime manipulation), Glitch Tech (reality errors)

A Phasic Drive is a device that enables phasing through walls and other solid matter by shifting the user's physical state to an alternate matter-phase. While Warp Cores manipulate spacetime geometry and Hyper Drives access hyperspace, Phasic Drives operate on the substance of matter itself — making it pass through other matter.

Mechanism

The Phasic Drive shifts the user (and optionally their equipment) into an alternate phase state where:

• Normal matter becomes non-solid — the user passes through walls, floors, and obstacles
• The user remains visible but translucent (or invisible, depending on configuration)
• The phase state is temporary — the drive must maintain active power to sustain it
• Deactivation returns the user to normal matter-phase instantly

Applications

• Infiltration — passing through walls, barriers, and fortifications
• Evasion — becoming intangible to physical attacks
• Emergency escape — phasing out of traps, collapses, or containment
• Tactical positioning — moving through obstacles to reach optimal positions

Limitations

• Power-intensive — maintaining phase state draws significant energy
• Vulnerability — phased users may be vulnerable to energy-based or psionic attacks that operate on the same phase
• Duration — limited by power supply; cannot maintain phase indefinitely
• Disorientation — extended phase states can cause perceptual disturbance

Related Technologies

• Warp Cores — bend spacetime (different approach to obstacle bypass)
• Glitch Tech — creates reality errors (can achieve similar pass-through effects via "glitching")
• Fusion Wings with Glitch-Hop architecture — wing-based phasing capability
