"Mata Nui, what a dream..."

"I don't think it was a dream. I saw you, even if the others didn't. And that's some mask power you have."

Iden

Kanohi Info
Title	Mask of Spirit
Power(s)	Astral Projection
Disk(s)	Unknown
User(s)	Matoro (formerly)
Pronunciation	EYE-den

The Kanohi Iden is the Mask of Spirit. It allows its user to release their spirit from their body. While released, their spirit can move at great speeds and inhabit other live (yet spiritless) bodies or self-powered robots like Exo-Toa. Their body will become limp, as there is nothing to inhabit it. Only those who wear Kanohi Elda or Kanohi Rode can see and communicate to the user's released spirit.

While released, the user's spirit cannot access any of their body's powers. This is because the use of powers requires a union of the spirit and the body. Released, the user's spirit is separate from their body, so they cannot use their powers. Their body is also vulnerable, as they have no way to protect it themselves. If the user's body is destroyed, their spirit will eventually fade away, as they have no body to return to.

[carve] Trivia

The reason why BIONICLE book author Greg Farshtey didn't want Matoro to have Elemental Powers when he released his spirit is because it would give him an unfair advantage, since Matoro could attack beings who couldn't sense him at all.
Multiple Kanohi Iden users have the ability to swap bodies by sending their spirits into each other's spiritless body.
If a Kanohi Iden-user goes into a corpse and a Kanohi Tryna-user focuses their power on the deceased body, the two mask-wielders can work together to imitate the deceased being.
