Astral shallows are places where the barrier between the astral and physical space has become thin, not only making astral perception easier for the Awakened, but allowing even a mundane to use it like a window to perceive the astral plane. Visually and audible communication becomes possible for the mundanes, but physical interaction is still limited to Awakened entities only. Astral shallows are normally temporary in nature, lasting a few hours or days.[1]
Known astral shallows:
- Taj Mahal, India[2]
- Wuxing Skytowers in Aberdeen and Fuzhou[3]
Extreme forms of astral shallows are known as astral rifts.[4]
