Psi

One of the three main energies of World Energy, Psi is the energy of the Mind. With Psi people, monsters, places and objects can become retain more information, think faster, and use their thoughts to influence the world. A person with telepathy can sense and influence another persons thoughts, a person with fire attributed Psi can manipulate already existing fire with their mind. Psi is measured in three ways: will, neuroplasticity, and intelligence. Will measures how powerful and resistant to tampering the mind is. neuroplasticity measures the flexability of the mind and how complex it can manipulate its psi. Intelligence is a measure of the size of the Psi pool.

Manifestation

Psi is the energy of the mind, and its pool is housed in a beings mind space, the entrance of which is in their head. It is first visualized as a gas that floats around the mind space, and the user must empty their psi and process new psi from similar affinity world energy. Refilling the mind space makes the mind space empty, and refilling to maximum capacity will cause the outer bounds to stretch and thus the capacity larger. the capacity will continue to grow until the mind space is as large as the person can make it (growing the mind space is uncomfortable or painful based on how much it is stretching each time, so the limit of the persons storage is based on how much pain and unease they can go through). The person then begins compressing the mind space, turning the gaseous psi into liquid. Again they must empty, refill, grow and consolidate liquid psi until they get to solid, and then solid until they get to crystallization (the mind space size resets when it undergoes consolidation, but the amount it can hold does not change pre and post consolidation, thus the more the being has before they go to the next stage, the firmer the foundation for their future). They then have to consolidate their solid psi into a crystalline structure around a representation of their affinity. the final and longest step is to encompass all that the affinity is in the representation in the core.

Localization

Psi is in all beings with a mind, and some objects and places that are particularly thought provoking, or charged with a thoughtful image. Any area that collects enough psi with a thoughtful image can then become a Psi dungeon. Psi dungeons collect monsters and energy that is in line with their image. Psi dungeons are rare, as monsters with a high thinking ability are also rare. Like any dungeon, Psi dungeons can be beneficial or malicious. An example of a malicious Psi dungeon would be the malicious bewitching dungeons that attract sirens. An example of a beneficial dungeon would be the meditation dungeons in some monasteries. An example of a psi dungeon would also be a computer server farm or an aged place of learning, like an old university.
