Abilities:

• Psi Lance: offensive Psi ability (9 damage) and that deals more damage if the target fails a will challenge.
• Mindfray: offensive psionic ability (5 damage) that causes damage and lowers will/mobility/aim.
• Can Mind Control.
• Psi Drain: drains up to 5 damage points worth of health from a friendly organic target. Can kill target (can be used on mind-linked targets such as mind controlled squaddie)
• Rift: powerful AoE attack that inflicts more damage if they fail a will challenge. It has the potential to do from 4 damage (if resisted) to 20+ (to S.H.I.V.s, since they have no will to resist.) Rift will persist on the map for one turn and damage anything that enters.
• Chance to reflect physical projectiles back at the attacker. The reflected attack deals reduced damage.
• Hardened: Hardened units receive extra protection against critical hits (-60% crit chance)
• High Will: resistant to psionic attacks (and outright immune to Mind Control).
• The Uber Ethereal will explode upon death, dealing damage to all units within a fairly small radius.
