I kinda already have a thread going on that I need to go reply too so I’ll keep this brief.
Additionally, for now, i'll keep this in the Content Revision section, but please only comment if you have something useful to contribute.
Here is the current description:
After a discussion though it was, generally, agreed that there could be altetnate applications of this that aren't necessarily encompassed by this defintion. Take for instance, fire…. would I get NPI for interacting with fire? Although it technically isn't physical, it is still perceptible through touch. However, what was generally agreed upon was that NPI isn't only interacting with things that a human can't physically touch, it is interacting with something in a way that would otherwise be exclusive to physical things.
What are the implications of this? Well, let’s go back to the fire example. Punching fire WOULD NOT count as NPI because landing a punch on something doesn't demonstrate that you are interacting with it as if it were physical (i.e., any rando human can technically punch fire).
However, interacting with fire as if it were a single mass would count (like for example, “holding” fire) because it means that the character is applying a characteristic of a physical thing to a non-physical thing.
I believe that this should be specified on the page.

Proposal
After discussing it with some staff, its come to my attention that the full scope of NPI is currently not being conveyed by the wiki page.Here is the current description:
The power to interact with intangible or non-corporeal beings or objects. Users can both see and interact with intangible, or non-corporeal, abstract, and nonexistent objects or life-forms and entities, allowing them to make physical contact and possibly cause harm.
