-| style="background:lightyellow"|The discipline of psionics was developed as a side effect from a cure they developed against thought parasites that were released from the gorgog invasion. The cure itself apparently changed the brain patterns of mages, allowing them to harness this new skill. The base skill of psionics allows different mental powers to be performed on three separate channels of thought waves. Once mastering psionics, mages may choose to either specialize in [[telekinesis]] or [[telepathy]]. Monks may specialise in [[Psychometabolism]]. Psionics draws its power from the ego, and psionicists are in danger of burning out their psionic powers the same as those with the [[healing]] skill are.

-Lists the status of psionic channels. If off of normal equilibrium, you cannot use any channel; however, otherwise each of the three types of channels has a seperate recovery times from the other. Each channel has a different speed:
-* Substratus:   Lower thought waves (fastest channel).
-* Superstratus: Higher thought waves (slower channel).
-* Id:           Primitive thought waves (varies based on ego).
 When using psionics you can abbreviate <tt>SUB</tt> for substratus and <tt>SUPER</tt> for superstratus.
-<tt>CHANNELS</tt> will indicate the status of the specific channels, and whether they are locked or unlocked (some psionic skills will require a channel to be locked). If a locked channel is targetted on someone other than you, the range depends on your psionic skill. The maximum range is never more than 5 rooms away. If a channel is locked and you wish to unlock it: <tt>PSI <channel> UNLOCK</tt>
