- | ====== Psionics v0.1b ====== | + | |
- | Within the universe, as presented in the WS setting, Psionics exists as a phenomenon observable as a capacity to warp and alter reality, bending the rules of physics to achieve tangible effects. This is most commonly achieved through a process that in most species is analogous to thought, the effects relying on the interaction of waveforms present in the brains of many sentient species whose fluctuations and shifts trigger observable effects in their surroundings.((Though this is not universal with some species likely having dedicated psionic organs, as well as other deviations to produce similar wave forms.)) | + | |

+ | |||
+ | Psionically manifested material, commonly referred to as ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, if a block of psi-matter were to be manifested with similar properties to marble, and one were to try carving it, the sections of the block which were interacted with would destabilize and dissipate into nothingness instead of leaving behind dust or material chips. Alternatively if one were to attempt to melt down the block, the entire structure would dissolve and rapidly cease to exist. To this end, psionic constructs require the practitioner to consider and specifically apply traits to any matter manifested as it is impractical to attempt to machine or alter it after manifestation. | ||

A broader option for limiting psionics is one that is analogous to aural white noise; Psionic Noise is a wide band non-specific blocking signal capable of dampening or nullifying most psionics in its area.((Psionics that operate outside of the known spectrum of wavelengths may be missed.))

- | Psi noise may originate from psionic individuals or specialized equipment designed to generally suppress psionic activity or to act as a countermeasure to psionic attacks. Notably this form of psionic countermeasure is capable of incapacitating especially sensitive psions and may cause headaches, irritation, or disorientation even in non-psionic individuals as it interferes with normal brainwave propagation. | + | Psi noise may originate from psionic individuals or specialized equipment designed to generally suppress psionic activity or to act as a countermeasure to psionic attacks.
