Source gap: the surviving page text contains an unfinished development phrase for an increase to damage from the Destroy seed. No numerical value is present, so this page does not invent one.
Effect
The manifester gains fast healing 12 and chooses one primary defence at a time: +6 insight bonus to AC, +6 to saving throws, or +6 to Spell Resistance.
The power also allows the manifester to become incorporeal as an immediate action and dismiss that state as a free action under the source rules. The selectable defence can be changed as described by the original power.
The source attributes the power to Dispater, with increased duration inside the Iron Tower.
Edition Status
This is third-party epic psionic material. Modern D&D does not use the same immediate-action, insight-bonus, fast-healing or epic-development framework.
