Mirage Trance

Mirage Trance (ミラージュトランス) is a keyword introduced in BS56. The wording is as follows: 
*[LV1][LV2][LV3] Mirage Trance: Color(/Color)Besides (When Deployed) effects, your Color(/Color) Mirage also activates its [LV1]/[LV2] Nexus effects.
Since cards that are set as Mirage can only activate their Mirage effects, Mirage Trance basically allows the player to set a Nexus as a Mirage while not losing its Nexus effects. It is particularly important to the control-based Nexuses and decks that are more reliant on Nexuses, like the Space Pirate deck. Another use of the effect is to enable the player to activate high level cost LV2 effects of a Nexus. Cards like Abyssal Mirage can activate their LV2 effects with high core requirement when set in the Mirage Zone via this effect without the need to spend any cores on it. 
The major downside of the effect is that the player needs to choose between which Nexus card to set as a Mirage. And while the Mirage can activate its Nexus effects, it is still NOT treated as a symbol on Field. 
A thing to note is that for the Nexus effects activated via Mirage Trance, they are NOT counted as "Mirage effects", as that only covers any effects (including "when set"). So Spirits that are unaffected by Mirage effects like The PartnerBurai Vrick would still be affected by the "nexus effects" the Nexus card activated being a Mirage via Mirage Trance.
