Psionics

Psionics 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. Efforts by arcanists to codify the effects have discovered a pattern of related powers categorized by the nature of how the power affects the world, or other beings. Persons showing these powers are often treated with even more suspicion or fear than sorcerers, as they seem to directly challenge the divine source of magic. In some cultures these powers are seen as blessings from the gods, or evidence of demi-godhood.
