If he dies, he gets to become an Astral Entity and immediately has to start paying for the meta-trait with earned cp.
I don't have my books here, but doesn't powers say that you get the astral entity meta-trait if your body dies (and you make the Will-15 roll)?
That said, doesn't breathe should probably be added too the versions that can willingly project their spirits. Invisibility is not something I'd require for something like that, afterall the spirit is still in our world, and has yet to move to the spiritworld/afterlife whatever. Depending on your setting spirits may or may not be invisible ;)
