Psychometabolism is the psionic discipline to control your own body, which can take the form of forcing your body to release pheromones or to control the currents within your own body. This is a skill developed by the martial artists of the Undervault, who possess great psionic potential.

Gliding

Syntax
PSI <channel> GLIDING
GLIDE <direction>
Channels: Superstratus, Id

By changing your molecular structure, you can glide upon any surface, including water. This also confers the ability to waterwalk.

Additional Notes:
This will not work across the turgid waters of an Aquamancer's deluged terrain.


Introspection

Syntax
PSI <channel> INTROSPECTION
Channel: Super, Id

Defence: 1/10 All

By bringing part of your mind inwards and always focusing on how your mind and body interact, you can better shield yourself from the damages of the world.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


IronSkin

Syntax
PSI <channel> IRONSKIN
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Damage Modifier: 3/10 cutting and blunt resistance

You can thicken your skin to the point where it becomes as hard as iron.


CellAdjustment

Syntax
PSI <channel> CELLADJUSTMENT <LOW|HIGH>
Channels: Substratus

By focusing on your body at a cellular level, you can set up the cells in your body to provide burst healing after taking so much damage. After taking 25% of maximum health or 40% of your maximum health, depending on the level specified, your cells will give you a burst healing equivalent to the same amount - all in one hit - at the the equivalent cost of ego, or twice the cost of ego. There is an inversely proportional cooldown on this ability, where weaker heals have a longer cooldown.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


EnergyContainment

Syntax
PSI <channel> ENERGYCONTAINMENT
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Damage Modifier: 2/10 cold, fire and electricity resistance
X/8 magic resistance (X = channels locked)

Prepare your body to channel and disperse elemental energies, giving you some protection against cold, fire and electricity.


BoneDensity

Syntax
PSI <channel> BONEDENSITY
Channels: Superstratus, Id

You can harden your bones to help prevent them from breaking.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


Shift

Syntax
PSI <channel> SHIFT <direction>
Channels: Superstratus, Substratus, Id

Pass through walls and wooden doors by slightly moving your body out of phase.


Regeneration

Syntax
PSI <channel> REGENERATION
Channels: Substratus, Superstratus, Id

Regen: 2/5 health
3/6 Ego (if Introspection locked)

Utilise your psionic powers to regenerate your vitals.


DoublePain

Syntax
PSI <channel> DOUBLEPAIN
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Effect: Deals 100 + 10% hemorrhaging ego damage per action

You can prime your body's system to inflict increased pain upon your touch, increasing the haemorrhaging that you cause.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


MindField

Syntax
PSI <channel> MINDFIELD [ON/OFF]
Channels: Substratus

Damage Modifier: X/8 psychic resistance (X = channels locked)

You can wrap a psionic field around your mind which will discharge a backlash against any who attempt to scry you, except for allies. This will also deliver a smaller backlash against those who would use psychic damage against you - excepting those who also have a mindfield active. In addition, it grants a small resistance to psychic damage.


Pheromones

Syntax
PSI <channel> PHEROMONES
Channels: Substratus, Id

By releasing pheromones, you will cause others to fall in love (or at least lust) with you.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


Bodyfuel

Syntax
PSI <channel> BODYFUEL <1-5>
Channels: Id

You can generate power from your body, though this is very taxing on your health. For each point of power you convert, you will drain 1000 health. You cannot convert more than 5 power at any time, nor can you take yourself over 10 power.


Enhancement

Syntax
PSI <channel> ENHANCEMENT <DAMAGE|SPEED|SPREAD>
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Your superior control over your musculature allows you to enhance either the explosive power of your attacks or the speed of your reactions, or both.

Enhancing damage will provide a 2/8 buff to universal damage, while enhancing speed will provide a 2/4 buff to balance. Choosing to spread the enhancement will provide 1/8 to universal damage and 1/4 to balance.


LifeDrain

Syntax
PSI <channel> LIFEDRAIN
Channels: Substratus, Id

You can reconfigure your nervous system to drain energy from the wounds of your enemies, healing yourself (and any deep wounds you may havesustained) when you attack others physically. This ability does not work on denizens.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used. �


Forcedsymmetry

Syntax
PSI <channel> FORCEDSYMMETRY
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Wounds that are inflicted to your arms are regularly redistributed evenly among both arms, and wound delivered to your legs are likewise evenly redistributed amongst your legs.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


Bloodboil

Syntax
PSI <channel> BLOODBOIL
Channels: Substratus, Superstratus

You can raise the temperature of your blood and cycle it quickly through your body, preventing the health loss normally associated with bleeding (and, indeed, curing the bleeding entirely). This is, however, psionically taxing to maintain.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


BioCurrents

Syntax
PSI <channel> BIOCURRENTS
Channels: Substratus, Id

Your entire metabolism can be configured to hold an electrical current within. If someone touches you, an arc of electricity will be discharged.

Additional Notes:
This locks the channel used.


Overload

Syntax
PSI <channel> OVERLOAD
Channels: Superstratus

Power: 5 (any)

Flood your body with psychometabolic energy, bringing up the following defences simultaneously: PsiSense, BodyDensity, MindBar, MindField, IronSkin, EnergyContainment, and Gliding.


Biodrive

Syntax
PSI <channel> BIODRIVE
Channels: Superstratus

Power: 10 (any)

By driving all of your stored energy through every fibre of your body, you can spur your regenerative and healing abilities to supreme heights for a short period of time. While driving your biological functions up, your regenerative defences will take effect about three times faster and you will be regularly cured of afflictions.

Effects: 5/10 regeneration to all vitals, regen maluses are ignored, and one affliction is cured automatically every 4 seconds

Additional Notes:
This is a locked ability, however, when your biodrive ends naturally, the used channel will become available immediately.

Changelog:

  • Psychometabolism Biodrive will now provide 5/10 regeneration to all vitals, ignore regen maluses, and cure one affliction every 4 seconds while it is up. (#1450 on 6-26-2018)
