The '''Symbol of Transcendence''' is obtained at the twelfth step of the [[Order of Voln]]. This symbol will allow the player to step into the space between the corporeal and ethereal realms for 30 seconds.

After this symbol's duration expires, there is a 3 minute hard cooldown period where the symbol cannot be reactivated. This symbol may be invoked while the player is stunned, webbed, bound, or in [[RT]], in which case the cooldown period is 10 minutes.

Step 12

The Symbol of Transcendence is obtained at the twelfth step of the Order of Voln. This symbol will allow the player to step into the space between the corporeal and ethereal realms for 30 seconds. While in this state, players will take damage as if they were an incorporeal creature (i.e. critical wounds will be much harder to inflict upon them and combat maneuvers will be harder to land on them). After this symbol's duration expires, there is a 3 minute hard cooldown period where the symbol cannot be reactivated.

This symbol may also be invoked while the player is stunned, webbed, bound, or in RT, in which case the cooldown period is 10 minutes. It is important to note that the use of this symbol does not remove the negative status effect. Additionally, when used during this 'emergency' situation, symbol activation must be CONFIRMed. This confirmation requirement can be preset with an on/off toggle (See SYMBOL OF TRANSCENDENCE TOGGLE while in game to set the desired option).

The SPELL ACIVE command will display the remaining cooldown duration.
