Psionics

Telekinetic, psychic and other anomalous powers.

The material universe is a place governed by the understood laws of science, but as its denizens further push the boundaries of their understanding, some different and much stranger laws come to light. Gone is the understanding a man cannot move objects with his mind, shattered is the illusion that an individual can directly implant thoughts into another's head, as more becomes understood about psyking, the more prosperous, or dangerous, the future becomes.

Psyking is not an ability all people in the galaxy posses, it can be achieved through a variety of means, such as the Rada being in tune with the god like great Worm, Igsim or the Psijics possessing a special organ given to them by their own parent race, all the way to much more expansive means such as drawing psionic powers from beyond the realms such as the Realm of Corruption or the Pantheon Realm.
Psychic powers drawn from these locations often differ in power and potential application depending on where they are drawn from, in the case of the Rada, every individual is capable of communicating with one another through a unique organ, with the stronger Rada being able to dominate the lesser, and some especially strong Rada even capable of assaulting the minds of other races using the combined mental might of the collective.

Psionic powers: The ground work

The basis of all Psionic powers manifested in the material universe stems from the mental fortitude of the user, an individual of weaker mental resolve than their psyker opponent will almost always lose, the fight is literally a battle of wills. The stronger the user the more potent the psionic abilities they can cast, with only the most powerful being able to use their minds to cause damage to others.
Some of the common psionic powers found in base level psykers are things like;
Enhanced senses - the ability to forsee danger or an extreme, often reliable sense of intuition. This power often comes from the mind enhancing the bodies senses selectively to far beyond normal levels, sensing the enemy about to come around a corner may have come from something so minute as the change in air pressure or seemingly inaudible sound of their breathing.
Telekinetics - The ability to use ones mental strength to move objects. This ability has been replicated countless times with technology, but to do it with ones mind is an impressive feat, in many cases this is using the other-worldly forces of the realms from beyond.
Mental Assault and Communication - The ability to attack another's mind and trick their brain into feeling pain or other thoughts. To influence anothers actions directly is often only possible against those with a weak mental resolve, though a varying level of psykers have been seen to be capable of sending whispers to individuals, be they friendly or enemy. The Rada species are exceptionally good at this ability, each one of them being hard wired to communicate with one another mentally.

Biological, Supernatural and Technological powers.

While psionic powers can stem from a multitude of places, the three most common are from biological abilities possessed by the specific race, supernatural powers earned from a users connection to the realms from beyond or technology that enhances a users biological function and enables them some use of psionic powers.

Biological

Biological psichic powers tend to stem from a races physiology, possessing an organ that allows them to do basic psychic abilities such as communicate between their species or with others of a similar brain structure through the mind. It is uncommon, in fact almost un heard of, that a species in the material universe can naturally, without any form of help from technology or supernatural powers, be biologically capable of powerful psionic abilities such as telekinesis or causing physical pain through psionic attack. Races with naturally occurring psychic abilities are often by design harder to assault in a psionic manner, the Rada being a prime example of this, their natural psionic abilities making them tougher to mentally battle with.

Technological

Technology in the material universe has accomplished countless feats considered at one point or another works of utter fiction, the manifestation of seemingly psionic powers such as telekinesis, weather manipulation and elemental attacks being achieved through advanced works of engineering. Pieces of tech like this can be considered separate from psionic powers, however there does exist technology that enables certain races, biologically capable of psychic powers or not, to access places like the realms from beyond and call a plethora of psychic powers that in some cases are beyond explanation. The Psijics are known for using a piece of technology to enhance the capabilities of an already present psionic organ.

Supernatural

Beyond the material universe are unknown regions such as the Realm of Corruption and the Pantheon realm (and the seemingly endless pockets within it, the corruption realm being the biggest). While some believe they have understanding of these places, in truth the surface has merely been scratched. The laws of time and space in most cases simply do not apply in these places, allowing those in tune with them to call upon violent psychic powers to enhance their allies or destroy their enemies. The methods of becoming attuned to a place in the realms beyond are endless, but most commonly, they all work in a similar way to corruption. Energy of the realm infusing with the user and having its own unique effects on their personality.
Though manifesting powers in this way often comes at a cost. The psyker who dare push themselves over their limits will very often become victim of the very anomalous energies they tried to call fourth, in some instances being utterly annihilated in the process.
Supernatural psykers are few and far between because of the problems caused by Corruption in the past. Factions such as the The Sirasion Empire and The Necrophyte Dynasty are especially wary of such practices, as is the majority of the galactic population.
