Psi
Psionics is the subtle art of mastering the full potential of the human mind. The powers therein are often very powerful and widely varied. They can lift and push, they can conjure energy, they can even bend other minds.
Psi powers are much akin to magic in a few ways, and also to Chi. Psi powers are cast without any special words or movements, and do not use points of any sort. They can be used as long as the user wants. The only downsides are that only one power can be used at a time, and that if you are startled or distracted, your hold on the power may slip or fail. If you are dominating an NPC's mind, and wish to levitate over a wall, you will have to first release the NPC. If a firework goes off right next to you on your way up, expect a hard landing.
To determine which Psi powers you can use, take your mind score and subtract ten. The number remaining is your Psi Latency. If you have a mind score of 13, then your Psi Latency is three. This means that you can use any Psi ability level three or below.
