Psychics
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
The branch of magical studies devoted to the study of Psionic energies.
Psychics are viewed as something of a curiosity by most Dragaerans. Many use them for communication, but most sorcerers tend to have disdain for their use--probably due to their connection with Eastern witchcraft.
A notable exception to this tendancy is Daymar.
[edit] Common Uses of Psychics
- Psionic communication
- Creating illusions
- Divining information (clairvoyance)
- Sending another person a mental image (e.g. teleport coordinates)
- Mind probes
- Redirecting psionic energy
- Seeing the future
- Creating psiprints
[edit] How Psychics Relates To Other Branches of Magic
Psychics are an integral part of witchcraft; psychic energy is essentially the raw power that makes witchcraft spells operate. This power in turn comes entirely from the mind and body of the individual, unlike Sorcery which is externally powered.
Sorcery using the Orb can apparently amplify psionic abilities, making it easier to use for communication.
