the mages that use astral projection can not manifest or materialized in
physical plane bu they can have a form that will be seen from a physical
plane . this means that thy can talk, see (not read from a letter -but
they can see the motions that are in that letter-) of cource they use
their astral senses so everything around them is alwways bright even in a
dark room. Also they can not ground spells because they are in astral but
only they can be seen from physical plane.
