(Sort of like how Kitty somehow disrupts machinery by phasing through it.) She'd be a person-shaped 'psychic knife' of sorts. Being able to fly around at pretty much any speed she can think, and being totally insubstantial (and therefore immune to any form of attack other than some magics meant to bind 'ghosts,' or psychic attacks from telepaths and the like), she'd be pretty buff. If her astral self can actually *overpower* the signals of another person, she could even possess them, but that's, IMO, an unnecessary power-up. Just being able to 'interrupt' other people would be fine.
