    What role is this Rune intend to fill?
    Good tank, playable in a lot of FW BG, but designed to synergize with spirits, giving them a hero for their theme, and a tank (Which they lack)

    Why isn't this Rune's role being fulfilled by similar Runes?
    Currently there is not a hero for this specific FW Theme also there is not a good front line tank for spirits (And FW in general)

    How is this Rune different from what is already in Pox Nora?
    This is a stealthed tank if played on spirits.

    How is this Rune competitive and why would it be used over other Runes?
    This rune is competitive because spirits would benefit greatly from having this rune

    What makes this Rune unique and fun to use?
    A stealthed tank is always unique and fun to use.

    potatonuts I need me some PIE!

    I like it, my only criticism of an ethereal tank is that when it is incorporeal your opponent can just walk around it. 2x2 would help with that ofc.

    If spirits ever get a tank THIS should be the main concept, an ethereal tank. Because it benefits from insubtantiate becoming stealthed, and when this rune is going to shift to incorporeal next turn we can phase shift and position our armies and wait for our tank to be back.

    But i think commander spirit will never be taken, not even in spirits since i would rather have battle drum/hold the line. could be changed to bulwark: Spirits

    Also I took the time to look for a cool looking art matching your description, what do you think? image.jpg

    2x2 units have a -4 maybe -5 modifier so add 5 Nora to the base stats cost

    Although this sounds pretty cool, I would like to see Defiler Knight getting reworked into a spirit tank.
