While Hibernating within this block of ice, you heal damage at an incredible rate. You also have endurance recovery while in Hibernation. This power lasts for 30 seconds. Your other toggles will remain active while in Hibernation but you cannot affect anyone during this time. You also cannot activate any powers until you come out of Hibernation.
