Summary
Non-Physical Interaction is the ability to interact with intangible or non-corporeal beings or objects. This ability is often associated with Magic or other supernatural forces as a means of interacting with spirits or other entities that are portrayed as being in some way untouchable or imperceivable. The extent of interaction often varies, with some instances being carried out through individual means such as a spell, artifact, or specific ability, while other times, it's an intrinsic part of a verse's power system or a character's own innate abilities.

Notes
- It should not be assumed that all instances of Non-Physical Interaction are created equal. In some cases, for example, a character might be given the unique ability to interact with ghosts by means of Necromancy but fail to do anything meaningful to a non-physical character that lacks a soul, or who simply isn't undead to begin with.
