- | + | ||
- | ==== Psi Noise ==== | + | |
- | Analogous to aural white noise, Psionic Noise is a blocking signal capable of dampening or nullifying psionics in its area. Expressed in the wavelength, it appears to be a solid block, engaging every emotion on the spectrum at once and overloading psionic facilities. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | It is often employed as a countermeasure to psionic attacks, and is capable of incapacitating especially sensitive psions. | + | |

- | ====== 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 within 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.)) | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Functionally psionic effects are the developed capacity of psionic capable individuals to interact with the world around them in a mental fashion((whether instinctive, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | As these psionic effects are observable and mappable in the brains of psionic individuals using any brain imaging technology, there exists technology capable of replicating the associated waveforms allowing psionic effects to be achieved through artificial means, though without a guiding influence these effects are typically less flexible. | + | |
One of the many results of the study and development of psionic capabilities in scientifically advanced civilizations is the development of psionic implants tailored to improve the capability of a psionic individual be in to boost the strength of psionic waveforms in practitioners, | One of the many results of the study and development of psionic capabilities in scientifically advanced civilizations is the development of psionic implants tailored to improve the capability of a psionic individual be in to boost the strength of psionic waveforms in practitioners, | ||

+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

It is typically is achieved through the use of either a trained psion or a specialized piece of equipment that is capable producing a cancelling wave intended to negate the bands of brain activity associated with psionic manifestation.
