An ectoplasmic phantom can’t move through corporeal creatures with this ability, and its movement speed is halved while moving through a wall or obstacle. Any surface it moves through is coated with a thin, silvery mucus that lingers for 1 minute.

An incorporeal manifested phantom can make slam attacks against other incorporeal creatures as if it were in ectoplasmic form. Appraise +4 (2 ranks, + 3 class skill, -2 Int, +1 Eye of Avarice)
