Its form can range from raw seething energy, a misty vapor, a viscous gelatin, a bundle of fine threads, a living membrane or a fine, fabric-like tissue, that can also be solidified and used for material purposes. However, since Samuel is still in possession of a flesh-and-blood body, he cannot maintain this Ghost Mode for a long period of time.
