Law of Psionics

Psionics is the ability to mentally manipulate aspects of an environment. It is an umbrella term encompassing many powers found in humanoids and half-humans. What differentiates this from other physiological abilities is the fact that psionics is all to do with the mind.

Powers are mainly genetic, with very few environmental cases (these mainly happen to humans and half-humans without powers). All humanoids and most half-humans have a specific set of genes that allow them to interact with their environment. On Quadrilore, this was considered normal, until humanoids had travelled to Earth. As humans don't ability to naturally manipulate their environment, they soon dubbed these humanoid abilities "powers" or psionics.

Identity

Psionics forms the basis of everything to do with humanoids. It is a huge part of their identity, and many say they would feel lost without their powers. They utilise it in so many ways, which have interested both humans and humanoids for centuries.

Psionic Energy

All powers give off some kind of energy, whether or not it's visible. This energy is said to come from a person's soul, as the soul provides the fuel for powers to manifest in the first place. In short, without psionic energy, there aren't any powers.

Detractors (mainly humans) often ask why humans don't have powers, since they have a soul, too. The answer is a lot more complex, however. It's the combination of spiritual, genetic and neurological factors that dictate whether someone has powers. The environment then dictates whether these powers are useful.

Colours

Psionic energy is closely linked to each person and forms a large part of their identity. The energy comes in many colours, which can say a lot about a person. It is often random, but can symbolise a person's disposition.

Manifestation

Humanoids and many half-humans have psionic powers that allow them to interact with their environment in a more effective way than humans.
