Telekinesis

Telekinesis is the psionic specialization that focuses on creating fields of force with the power of thought that can be used to manipulate matter. Using telekinesis as a weapon can be a terribly effective, as the psionicist can burst veins and otherwise harm the physical body of their enemies. The upper levels of telekinesis can use these force fields to create substantial defenses.

Trip

Syntax

PSI <channel> TRIP <target>

Channels: Substratus, Id

Send a telekinetic hook around the legs of your target and pull, knocking them down.

Burst

Syntax

PSI <channel> BURST <target>

Channels: Substratus

With a telekinetic squeeze of the heart, blood vessels will burst and cause internal bleeding. You will burst two blood vessels at a time, with a lesser chance at three vessels.

Multiple Psionicists attempting to burst vessels soon after a prior burst will suffer diminishing returns and burst only one vessel.

Additional Notes:

Bursts two to three vessels at random.

Changelog

• Report 531: Burst vessels can be assessed with Discerning. Burst rates are 65% of 2 and 35% of 3. Diminishing returns for multiple Telekinetics. (#2950 on 2024-05-05)

Pyre

Syntax

PSI <channel> PYRE <target>

Channels: Substratus Damage Type: Fire Damage Source: Magical

If your target is on fire and you excite the air around them, the flames will turn into a blazing pyre.

Additional Notes:

[OLD NOTE; PLEASE VERIFY] If they're not already on fire, it will set them ablaze but only does half damage. Regular damage is 25% of current health.

Psychically wield a dagger, repeatedly attacking your opponent. The dagger may be poisoned. You may retarget your dagger while the channel is locked, but to call back your dagger, you will need to unlock.

Additional Notes:

[OLD NOTE; PLEASE VERIFY] Attacks every four seconds.

Fling

Syntax

PSI <channel> FLING <target>

Channels: Superstratus Power: 3 (any)

Telekinetically fling your opponent into the air. If there is a ceiling in the room, your target will, of course, hit that first.

Choke

Syntax

PSI <channel> CHOKE <target> [HERE]

Channels: Superstratus Damage Type: 100% Asphyxiation Damage Source: Magical

By creating a telekinetic ring of force around the throat of an opponent, you can tighten it and choke them. This ability has a range that depends on your psionic skill, up to a maximum of 5 rooms away.

Specifying "Here" following the target will restrict the ability to only look for targets in the same room.

Lock your victim's legs up - preventing them from leaving by giving them paralysis.

Clot

Syntax

PSI <channel> CLOT <target>

Channel: Id

By using burst blood vessels to create malignant blood clots in a victim, you will render it impossible to cure those burst blood vessels as well as affecting the body so it requires a longer balance to use potions. There must be 2 burst vessels to form a clot. For there to be 2 clots, there must be 4 burst vessels, etc. There can only ever be a maximum of 4 of these dangerous blood clots in a person. Each clot will make it impossible to cure 3 burst vessels.

You can pinch the throat of a target, leaving them unable to eat, thus causing anorexia.

Magnetize
