What exactly is ectoplasm? I was thinking specifically of psionic powers like Wall of Ectoplasm. The power descriptor says, You fashion a roiling wall of ectoplasm, imbuing it with solidity. and then later says the wall of Opaque. So, it should be visible, unlike a Wall of Force.
However, for powers like Ectoplasmic Form, it says the ectoplasm is translucent.
Then, for Ectoplasmic Shambler, it is described as Ephemeral.
Astral Constructs are solidified ectoplasm.
If something is opaque, you can clearly see it, as opaque means it does not allow light to pass through it. However, if something is translucent it does allow light to pass through it... while ephemeral means short-lived.
Is it just some sort of goo that is either opaque or translucent, depending on the power?
