By placing yourself in suspended animation, you will be out of phase with the rest of the world as your body completely heals itself. As you are, you will gradually begin to be healed: first your health, then mana, then ego, then ailments. After that, your health, mana and ego will continue to expand beyond what they normally are. If you break yourself out of suspended animation, you will suffer a balance loss, the loss is greater the sooner you break yourself out of suspended animation.

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.

This is a deeper form of meditation, whereby you can regenerate mana, ego and willpower more quickly.

Ironskin

Damage Modifier: variable depending on skill level, max of 30

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

CellAdjustment

Syntax:
PSI <channel> CELLADJUSTMENT <amount>
Channels: Substratus

By focusing on your body at a cellular level, you can transmute your ego into health - though a small amount will be lost in the process.

EnergyContainment

Syntax:
PSI <channel> ENERGYCONTAINMENT
Channels: Superstratus, Id

Damage Modifier: variable depending on skill level, max of 25

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.

Shift

You can regenerate your body's health automatically.

DoublePain

Syntax:
PSI <channel> DOUBLEPAIN
Channels: Superstratus, Id

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

Mindfield

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

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.

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.

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.

Enhancement

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

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.

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.

SuspendedAnimation

PSI <channel> SUSPENDEDANIMATION

WAKE (to awaken early)

Channels: Superstratus

Power: 10 (any)

By placing yourself in suspended animation, you will be out of phase with the rest of the world as your body completely heals itself. As you are, you will gradually begin to be healed: first your health, then mana, then ego, then ailments. After that, your health, mana and ego will continue to expand beyond what they normally are. If you break yourself out of suspended animation, you will suffer a balance loss, the loss is greater the sooner you break yourself out of suspended animation.
