|description = 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.

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.
'''Effects:''' 5/10 regeneration to all vitals, regen maluses are ignored, and one affliction is cured automatically every 4 seconds
|notes = This is a locked ability, however, when your biodrive ends naturally, the used channel will become available immediately.

'''Changelog:'''<br />
*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)'''
