Powers
Grant Invisibility
Grants a targeted teammate Invisibility. The Invisibility lasts about 2 minutes. While your ally is Invisible, he probably will not be detected unless he attacks a target. If he attacks, he is still hard to see and maintains some bonus to Defense to all attacks. This power works with other Concealment related powers.

Invisibility
You can bend light around yourself to become invisible. While this power is active, you are almost impossible to detect. While invisible, you cannot attack and can only use powers that affect yourself; however, you do have a defense to all except Psionic attacks. This power will not work with other self-affecting Concealment related powers such as Stealth or Shadow Fall. Purchasing Invisibility requires the user to be level 14 and possess Stealth or Grant Invisibility.

Misdirection
You redirect the anger of enemies around you, placating them. This causes them to break off their attacks. The momentary lack of awareness this causes also leads to reduced resistance to damage for a short time. You must be at least level 14 and have trained any two other Concealment powers before you can train this power.

Phase Shift
You can Phase Shift to become out of sync with normal space. Although you do not become completely Invisible, you are translucent and hard to see. You are intangible, and cannot affect or be affected by those in normal space. Although this power is a toggle, you cannot remain Phase Shifted for more than 30 seconds, even if you still have Endurance. Cannot be used with rest. You must be at least level 14 and have two other Concealment Powers before selecting Phase Shift.

Stealth
You blend into your environment and can only be seen at very close range. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and have a bonus to Defense from all attacks. If, however, you attack while using this power, you will be discovered and will lose your Stealth and some of your Defense bonus. While Stealthy, your movement is Slowed. Stealth will not work with any other form of Concealment power such as Shadow Fall or Steamy Mist. Very low Endurance cost.

Historical
- Issue 21 reduced the first two powers (Grant Invisibility and Stealth) from level 6, to each unlocking at level 4. The third power (Invisibility) still requires level 14 and a single power prerequisite. Issue 21 also reduced the fourth power (Phase Shift) to level 14, though it still requires two power prerequisites.
- Issue 24 added the Misdirection power.
