To be fair, 'Materialization gives Immunity', 'Immunity works like Hardened but with these special conditions', 'Hardened works like this' is not only from past editions, but also prevents you from having to edit the same text twice.

Using the word "Immunity" in any part of the description is also just plain misleading. Materialization giving "resistance to non-magical attacks" would be superior wording.

I hate to add yet another question, but it applies to this topic, so it's probably better to put it here than a new topic.

I noticed that Materialization is a sustained power. Does this mean that Spirits get the -2 dice pool penalty for doing stuff while sustaining something (just like casters get) or do powers not work that way?

EDIT: I *think* the Powers heading on p221 says that it doesn't work that way, but verification would be nice.

I mean all we can say that the rules still say critters don't do sustaining penalties except for with actual spells.

Critter powers was clarified to not impose the -2 sustaining penalty back in 5e (just as, for comparison purposes, Adept powers don't impose a -2 dice while in effect).  I think it's safe to presume it's still that way in 6we.

Pretty much. The only thing they face sustaining penalties on, are Innate Spells.

Sustained powers may
be maintained over time at no effort or cost. Critters
are not subject to any modifiers for keeping an
effect going, as magicians are for sustaining spells,
though they are limited as to the number of powers
they can have going at one time. Critters may
sustain a number of powers (or multiple uses of
the same power) at one time equal to their Magic.
The exception to this is the Innate Spell power,
where Sorcery is used to cast the spell. The Innate
Spell must be sustained per the Sorcery rules on p.
132), but critters can sustain multiple spells as per
those rules.

Thanks for the verification. I figured it worked that way, but it's nice to know for sure.
