Psionics

Overview

Some people are born with dormant psychic abilities covering a wide range of possible effects. These talents usually remain dormant, never manifesting, but is cases of determined effort they can be activated. Sometimes these talents self manifest during times of great stress.

Persons showing these powers are often treated with even more suspicion or fear than sorcerers, as they seem to directly challenge the divine as the true source of magic.

In some cultures these powers are seen as blessings from the gods, or evidence of demi-godhood.
