The character can adjust his body to phase through one or more types of substances.
The number of substances can vary, but for true incorporeality it is suggested that
no more than 40 CP be spent on this attribute for complete control, 30 CP for
partial control, and 20 CP for permanent.

Each level of this attribute provides one slot with which to buy a material through
which the subject can pass through. Some materials take more than one slot, and the 
values vary depending on how the manifestation occurs.

Complete control means it can occur at any time at the character's whim.  It can be
used to avoid attacks of the type, for partial movement through such objects, or in
any number of interesting ways the character can dream up.  Even open-heart surgery
without the open heart.  They may apply force while phased to objects they normally
phase through (although it may incur power usage checks) and can make any part of
them insubstantial or substantial at will to whatever combination of materials they
have selected.  Furthermore, when making defense checks, complete control grants the
defender to phase through attacks, assuming they can be insubstantial against the
proper element.  Because of this, they can phase completely through area effect,
line, and cone attacks this qualifies for without penalties or taking half damage.
Additionally, they take no penalty to defense from flexible or spreading, and
automatically negate all auto-fire hits on a successful defense.  Again, assuming
the attack meets the prerequisites.  Defense checks made using this ability are up
to the GM, although they should be consistent.  The two most common methods are
applying either the power usage skill or appropriate defense skill against the
DCV of the defendant.

Partial control means manifesting insubstantiability cannot be done instantly or
even in the number of ways that complete control permits.  It's an all-or-nothing
deal for the character, and phasing to and fro isn't as easy.  This type cannot be 
done as a defensive action and, unlike complete control, they cannot apply 'force'
to an object they can phase through while phased themselves.  Furthermore, attacks
made while the character is phased are also phased against any target who's normal
attacks would not be effective against them due to this phasing.

Permanent is just that.  The character can never affect the slotted element
directly at all.

Insubstantial affects the character's clothing and equipment, as well as weapons,
attacks, and other such effects.

The effective level of this attribute varies depending on how it is manifested.
Permanent is 2 CP/level, Partial is 3 CP/level, and Complete is 4 CP/level.

These values assume a modern-day earth setting in an urban area located in the US,
where guns are a possibility and any type of material may be encountered.
Depending, these values may need adjusting based on world setting.  Plastics are
considered to have the consistency of bone, while ceramics are considered to be a
medium metal.
