The Kanohi Iden is the Mask of Astral Projection or Mask of Spirit.
The Kanohi Iden allows its user to temporarily release their spirit from their body. While released, their spirit can move at great speeds and inhabit other living, spiritless biomechanical bodies or self-powered robots. However, their original body will become Helpless and Unconscious, and cannot be revived, as there is no consciousness inhabiting it. Those who wear Kanohi Elda or Kanohi Rode can see and communicate with the user's released spirit. While released, the user's spirit cannot access any of their powers, because the use of powers requires a union of the spirit and the body. Their body is also vulnerable, as they have no way to protect it themselves. If the user's body is killed, their spirit will eventually fade away as they have no body to return to; however, if the user's Iden is destroyed while their body remains intact, the user's spirit will be forced back into their body.
Multiple Kanohi Iden-users could swap bodies by sending their spirits into each other's spiritless bodies. A Toa's powers are tied to their spirit, however, not their body, so if a Kanohi Iden-using Toa goes into another body, the body will have the spirit's Elemental Powers.
An Iden can be made from Weaken, Remove Poison, Enlarge, and Teleportation Kanoka.
