Psionics

Psionics is the Magic of the Krakens, massive amphibious creatures that live in the depths of the oceans, whose complex and alien minds can awaken mental powers amongst people far distant. The Atlanteans have learned how to induce this within their society by genetically altering their entire population. Even then, the power of the mind is often limited to the upper levels of Atlantean society, and those among the lower castes that manifest Psionic powers regardless are generally exploited for there talents.   In the lost Atlantean colony in the Himalayas, the people have adopted some local beliefs in developing Psionics, using more spiritual methods to cause it to emerge. While little is known of the specifics of these practices due to the fervent protection of the entrances to the city by the Yeti Guard, occasionally a wandering figure tells cryptic tales of what happens in those mountain holds.   Psionics are generally at least somewhat more subtle than Channeling and Druidism, as most of the effects are mental or short term. While there are several abilities that are similar to specific Channeling techniques, particularly Psychometabolism, which appears to be nearly identical to the technique of Physicality, the difference is usually that Channelers are genuinely giving themselves more of an attribute, Psions instead alter their own perception of their abilites. Psionics also have unique abilites, particularly that of Technokinesis, which allows them to interact with machines without physical or network contact.
