Phase Shift

Abilities in unOrdinary are measured across a set of parameters, and Phase Shift is one of the rare powers that lets a user rearrange their own. Shifting takes the value of the attack parameter and swaps it with defense, and takes speed and swaps it with recovery, which produces two distinct forms. The offensive form trades away defense and recovery for power and speed, leaving the user quick and capable of heavy blows but reduced to a 1.0 in the parameters given up. The defensive form does the reverse, trading power and speed for defense and recovery, absorbing hits that would injure an ordinary person and turning the user's skin the color of their signature aura. Reaching the full potential of either form requires switching the other one off.
