Extremely Bulky: (Warhammer 40k rulebook p35)

Independent Character: (Warhammer 40k rulebook p39)

Invocation of the Elements: At the start of each Movement phase, choose one of the four elemental powers. The Ethereal, and all friendly non-vehicle Tau Empire models within 12" benefit from the power until the start of the Ethereal's next Movement phase. If the Ethereal is slain, the power ends.
