-#+TITLE: Schools of Psionics

-#+CLASS: dnd

-#+CATEGORIES: ES HB

-

-From what I've seen, the most recent few 5e Unearthed Arcana dealing

-with "Psionics and the Mystic" have been getting somewhat mixed

-reviews.  I don't think this is because of the mechanics--or rather

-not COMPLETELY because of the mechanics.  Mechanics for psionics have

-always been weird, and the 5e style is good for D&D, so maintaining

-that is good and won't get any gripes from me.

-

-But I think that no matter what purely mechanical tweaks the UA team

-has planned for the Mystic, the general lukewarm reception isn't going

-to change unless we get something else squared away first.  Something

-a little deeper--something that helps us grasp Psionics in the same

-way we grasp Magic: with a complete and intuitive system.

-

-With Weave-based magic there are schools which somewhat delineate

-magical effects (conjuration, divination, etc), but that's not exactly

-what I mean.  Not to bash the magical schools (any system will have

-inconsistencies--mine notwithstanding), but few people really

-understand what it means to be a wizard by what school of magic they

-specialize in.  An enchantment wizard isn't fundamentally different

-from an evocation one.  But a wizard is different than a bard or a

-warlock.  These "Schools of Psionics" are as much about the state of

-mind of the manifester and the method for manifestation as they are

-about the outcome of the manifestation (there are several of my

-Psionic "schools" that may each manifest effects in the transmutation

-school of magic for instance, but each according to its own particular

-rules).

-

-What I mean is this:

-

-|           | Introvertion (a) | Extroversion (b) |

-|-----------+------------------+------------------|

-| Mind (1)  | Cogitation       | Domination       |

-| Body (2)  | Sympathy         | Manifestation    |

-| Time (3)  | Prescience       | Anticipation     |

-| Space (4) | Metapsionics     | Apportation      |

-

-There are eight categories split into two primary focuses and four

-topical domains, and each of the eight describes HOW a power is

-manifested.  It tells us what our character is DOING to get the

-blasted power to work.  As a D&D culture, we know how wizards do it,

-careful study and recitation, memorization, etc.  We know how Bards do

-it, they hear the music of creation and wrap their words in it.  All

-these effects are propagated through Mystra's Weave and are bound by

-it's limitations.  But nobody has a clue how Psionics works.  Or

-rather, we all have half-baked ideas that don't jive.

-

-In order for this to work, we need to know in canon, what it means to

-BE A PSIONIST and manifest powers.  I'm probably no different than

-anybody else in my half-baked understanding, but as a Physicist and an

-editor I feel it is my duty to try to make sense of this mess.

-

-First off, since we don't have a Weave, but all magic needs a medium,

-lets make one.  Lets call it the Psionic Field.  Created spontaneously

-from the first thinking being (or Source), the Psionic Field exists on

-any plane containing thought.  Some sources of psionic power are

-stronger than others, but all thinking things produce some connection

-to the field (some might wonder if magic and the Weave itself is

-naught but an echo of Mystra's or Auppenser's mind--and in that light

-perhaps the Psionic Field is not so foreign after all).

-

-With that medium in place, the world of Psionics slowly falls into

-place as well.  Detailed descriptions of the eight schools follow:

-

-1a) Cogitation - Clarity of thought, memory, action, and connection to

-the Psionic Field.

-

-Cogitation is often one's first exposure to Psionics.  It's a

-clear-mindedness that opens up your own mind to see itself for the

-first time, and beyond that, to sense the edges of the minds of

-others.  It includes the stereotypical bloody-nosed mind reading,

-mimicry, and perfect recall.

-

-Examples of Cogitation include "Detect Thoughts" and "Mind Meld" and

-the ability to learn or borrow skills and proficiencies directly from

-the minds of others.

-

-1b) Domination - Exert dominating willpower over other minds.

-

-Once you've encountered sources outside yourself it is only natural to

-try to influence or even dominate them.  Exerting your will into the

-minds of others isn't the same as reading their thoughts, you might

-not know what your target is thinking, only that it will succumb.

-

-Examples of Domination include "Command", "Suggestion", and "Dominate

-Person".

-

-2a) Sympathy - Exerting influence upon sympathetic objects.

-

-The Psionic Field is produced by thinking creatures, but it can leave

-an imprint on even mundane objects and materials.  Objects may be

-imbued with Psionic energy to produce a variety of effects, and may

-soak up ambient energy by just sitting within the Psionic Field which

-can be later be discerned by a Psionist to know about an object's

-history.  This is done by expanding your sense of self outward from

-your mind and body and into the object.

-

-Examples of Sympathy include "Psychometry", "Animate Objects", and

-"Guards and Wards".

-

-2b) Manifestion - Creating both illusory and physically manipulable

-constructs of pure thought.

-

-By focusing and condensing ideas down to their most concrete forms,

-Psionists can manifest the essence of a thing as either an illusion or

-as a real physical object made of Astral matter (ectoplasm).  Astral

-matter is most commonly associated with the Astral plane (or plane of

-thought) where it occurs naturally, but can exist anywhere with a

-sufficient psionic field for a Psionist to conjure it.

-

-Examples of Manifestation include "Mage Hand", "Conjure Astral

-Construct", and "Programmed Illusion"

-

-3a) Prescience - See and feel other places and times.

-

-Because the actions of thinking things (sources of psionics) are not

-stagnant, their movements create ripples in the Psionic Field.

-Births, deaths, and exchanges of knowledge leave their marks.  By

-studying these echos and patterns, Psionists can discern events that

-occurred in distant parts of the world or even in the past or future.

-

-Examples of Prescience include "Detect Poison and Disease", "Scrying",

-and "Foresight".

-

-3b) Anticipation - Solidify expectation and possibility into reality.

-

-In many ways the Universe itself is just composed of the interactions

-of groups of sources of psionism and the objects being pulled in their

-wake (albeit a rather large number of each).  With an awareness of the

-way ripples propagate in the Psionic Field and by using the techniques

-of Sympathy but directing them outwards, a Psionist can begin to

-subtly manipulate expectation and the laws of Physics themselves.

-

-Examples of Anticipation include "Heat Metal", "Telekinesis", "Reverse

-Gravity", and "Time Stop".

-

-4a) Metapsionics - Manipulating sources of Psionism and their direct

-effects.

-

-The way that thinking creatures interact with the Psionic Field is

-complicated and diverse, just as the creatures which produce it are

-themselves.  By studying how the minds of Psionically-attuned

-creatures create Psionic and even Magical Weave-based effects, a

-Psionist can learn to imitate or manipulate psionic effects as they

-see them (and sometimes use what they've learned to imbue limited

-psionic potential into others).

-

-Examples of Metapsionics include "Detect Magic", "Counterspell", and

-"Awaken"

-

-4b) Apportation - Pulling and pushing on planar boundaries with the

-Psionic Field.

-

-Since the material plane is not the only one with thinking creatures,

-some far-minded Psionists can detect the Psionic Field existing on

-other planes of existence and pull on these remote fields of power.

-Doing so can banish alien creatures, abjure harmful elemental effects,

-or even tear open portals to distant planes and places.

-

-Examples of Apportation include "Dimension Door", "Banishment", and

-"Whitefire Portal"

-

-== Post Script ==

-

-Q: Specifics (where do these fit in?) - A: Answer

-

-What about Soul Knives??? - A soul knife is just an adept who uses a

-combination of Manifestation and Sympathy to conjure a blade and imbue

-it with different Sympathetic effects.  In a similar way, you can use

-these eight to extend specific domains on to different classes.

-Psionic warrior?  Uses Sympathy to strengthen his body and Prescience

-to predict the strikes of his enemy.  Psionic rogue? Apportation to

-teleport around or Cogitation to read minds to cheat at cards (or

-memorize the deck).  Once the system is in place, the variations build

-themselves because you know what's possible and what isn't.

-Restriction breeds Creativity. You gotta know the rules to use them.

-

-What's all this about "Psionist?" Isn't it "Psion" - In my

-understanding a "Psion" is a mystic who uses metapsionics to

-manipulate her own mind into casting spells with the Weave.  It is

-also a term that gets some use for a general practitioner of psionics.

-It is also one of those 4e tattoo addicts...  just a really overloaded

-term really.  Psionist sounds the best to me as a general term like

-"mage."

-

-What's the difference between Sympathy and Anticipation when

-moving/lifting things? - In Sympathy, you convince the object to move

-by extending your sense of self into it and lifting it yourself, in

-Anticipation, it moves because you trick the Universe into thinking

-the object should already be moving and so the Universe does it for

-you. Expanding self is all monk-like vs. essentially casting Luck

-Bending spells.

-

-Apportation includes an allusion to "Whitefire Portal". What's that? -

-Oh, just this cool thing I made:

-

-*Whitefire Portal*: You burn a temporary hole through the Astral Plane

-and into another plane of your choice. Once per long rest, centered on

-a point within 300 ft of you, you summon raw Astral ectoplasm which

-burns with hellish, white-hot fury. Any creature standing within 20

-feet of the whitefire must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 12d10

-fire damage or half on a successful save. Inanimate objects in the

-area also take the damage and flammable objects may catch on fire. A

-portal then opens to the chosen plane as with a Gate spell and remains

-open for 1 minute as the planes slowly knit themselves back

-together. Alternatively, instead of a specific location on a plane of

-your choice, you may choose to have your portal open into a generally

-inhospitable location in one of the elemental planes or the planes of

-positive or negative energy. If you do so, creatures who enter or

-begin their turns within 20 feet of the portal take 6d10 damage of the

-appropriate elemental or energy type.

-

-I'm actually working on an entire Psionist class for eventual

-publication on the Dungeon Master's Guild (or as part of my

-"MagnumOpis-MagicOfTheMultiverse" which covers EVERYTHING magical as I

-understand it).  Of course if somebody #wotcstaff wants to buy it

-and/or hire me, I'd be totally up for #theorycrafting for a living.

-
-** Mind Powers
-
-All Psionic abilities except those that cast spells are mind
-powers. Intelligence is your psionic ability for your mind
-powers. Your intellect determines the strength of the psionic effects
-you manifest. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when
-setting the saving throw DC for a mind power or when making an attack
-roll with one. Manifesting mind powers does not require verbal,
-somatic, or material components unless those components have an
-explicit cost associated with them or are consumed.
-
- * *Restriction on High Level Powers*: Psionic Powers of sixth level
-   and higher take a drastic mental toll when manifested. You may only
-   manifest one sixth, one seventh, one eighth, and one ninth level
-   power per day.
-
-*** Psi Points
-
-Psi points represent a Psionist's pool of mental energy. It expands as
-she gains levels in the Psionist class and becomes more powerful. When
-manifesting powers, she uses a number of psi points according to the
-table below.
-
-| Power Level | Point Cost |
-|-------------+------------|
-|           1 |          2 |
-|           2 |          3 |
-|           3 |          5 |
-|           4 |          6 |
-|           5 |          7 |
-|           6 |          9 |
-|           7 |         10 |
-|           8 |         11 |
-|           9 |         13 |
-
-All spent psi points are recovered after a long rest.
-
-*** Psionic Ability
-
-*Mind Powers Save DC* = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence
-modifier
-
-*Mind Power Attack Modifier* = your proficiency bonus + your
-Intelligence modifier
-
-** Thought Sensitivity
-
-As a Psionist, you are attuned to the thoughts and feelings of
-others, as well as the concentration of psionic energy in an area.
-
-   * It is more difficult for a group of people to surprise you. If
-     you enter an area with a group of five or more hidden creatures,
-     you feel their presence and cannot be surprised by them. You can
-     not determine their location relative to you or where they are
-     hiding.
-   * As an action you can examine an object or creature within 10 feet
-     of you to psionically determine whether or not it has a mind. You
-     cannot determine this if it is shielded or immune to having its
-     mind read.
-
-** Psionic Focus
-
-When you reach 2nd level, you may choose to focus your psionic
-potential in one of two directions: inward or outward.
-
-*** Internal Focus
-
-*Psionic Recovery*: Once per day when you finish a short rest you may
-regain a number of psi points equal to your Psionist level (up to 9).
-
-*** External Focus
-
-*Force of Will*: Once per short rest when manifesting a mind power you
-may add your proficiency bonus to your Mind Power Attack Modifier or
-Mind Power Save DC. You must choose to do so before the roll is made.
-
-** Psionic Domain
-
-When you reach 10th level, you may choose to focus your psionic
-potential towards an aspect of reality: mind, body, time, or space.
-
-*** Mind Domain
-
-*Psionic Restoration*: Once per short rest on your turn you may remove
-a mind-altering condition from yourself. Alternatively, you may use an
-action to end a mind-altering condition from a creature you
-touch. These may be Charmed or Frightened.
-
-*** Body Domain
-
-*Psychoportation*: Your movement speed is increased by 10 ft and you
-gain proficiency in dexterity saving throws.
-
-*** Time Domain
-
-*Chronostutter*: Once per short rest on your turn you gain an
-additional bonus action.
-
-*** Space Domain
-
-*Far Manifestation*: The max range of your psionic powers with ranges
-greater than self is increased by 20 ft.
-
-** Perfect Mind
-
-Over years of study and experience in the Hidden Art, you have
-mastered the use of your most powerful psionic powers. Upon reaching
-20th level, the restriction on manifesting high level powers no longer
-applies to sixth and seventh level powers.
-
-** Psionic Disciplines
-
-Psionic Disciplines represent the ways in which Psionists interact
-with the Psionic Field and manifest their powers. You select a
-discipline at 3rd level and it grants abilities at 3rd, 6th, 14th, and
-18th levels.
-
-|       | Internal     | External      |
-|-------+--------------+---------------|
-| Mind  | Cogitation   | Domination    |
-| Body  | Sympathy     | Manifestation |
-| Time  | Prescience   | Anticipation  |
-| Space | Metapsionics | Apportation   |
-
-*** Cogitation [4/4]
-
-Clarity of thought, memory, action and connection to thinking creatures.
- 
-*Mimic Skill*: At 3rd level, you learn to tap into the minds of those
-around you to temporarily mimic their skills. As an action, you may
-target a creature within 30 feet of you. An unwilling creature makes
-an wisdom saving throw or is affected. You may learn a skill, armor,
-weapon, or tool proficiency from the targeted creature. You may only
-mimic one proficiency with this ability at a time, but may target a
-new creature at will.  The targeted creature must have the chosen
-proficiency for you to gain it.  You retain the proficiency while in
-the presence of the mimicked creature, but the proficiency disappears
-when the creature moves more than 30 feet from you.
-
-*Touch of Tongues*: If a creature speaks at least one language, as an
-action you may concentrate to translate their intentions, though not
-their exact wording, into a language you know. This uses your
-concentration for manifesting mind powers or casting spells and the
-effect ends when you cease concentrating on it.
-
-*Tactician*: You learn to use sensory information from those around
-you when aiming your manifestations. When determining if you can see a
-creature or object for a spell, mind power, or other ability, you may
-use the senses of any creatures within 60 feet of you instead of your
-own.  An unwilling creature makes a wisdom saving throw or is
-affected.
-
-*One With All*: You thrive in areas of high density psionic
-energy. Once per long rest, you may enter a psionic trance which
-provides a variety of benefits.  While in the trance you gain
-proficiency in all skills, languages, and saving throws, automatically
-succeed concentration checks, and any psionic abilities that you
-manifest or spells you cast are considered to be manifested or cast
-from one level higher (maximum of 9th level). This effect lasts a
-number of minutes equal to the number of thinking creatures within 60
-feet of you when you enter the trance (maximum 10 minutes).  Your own
-senses are considered blinded and deafened for the duration.  After
-the trance ends you gain 1 level of exhaustion.
-
-*** Sympathy [4/4]
-
-*Psionic Blade Ward*: You learn to ready your body to withstand
-damaging strikes. As a bonus action, you may spend a psi point to
-manifest the psionic cantrip Blade Ward (you don't have to be able to
-manifest that cantrip normally).
-
-*Empower Object*: You learn to imbue objects with psionic energy to
-produce a minor effect.  As a bonus action, you may touch an object of
-size small or smaller and choose to imbue it with one of the following
-effects until the beginning of your next turn:
-
- * Light: The object gives off a faint glow which illuminates 30
-   feet of the surrounding area in dim or bright light (your choice).
- * Heat: The object gives off extreme heat. Touching the object deals
-   2d8 fire damage.
- * Silence: All sounds within 5 feet of the object are silenced as
-   with a Silence spell.
- * Pain: Touching the object produces an illusory sense of pain which
-   deals 3d4 psychic damage.
- * Weight: The object's weight is reduced by 10 pounds. If this would
-   reduce the object's weight to 0, the object floats in the air.
-
-If a chosen affect applied to an object would deal damage, you and any
-number of chosen creatures are immune to taking that damage from that
-effect.
-
-*Reliable Psychometry*: You may manifest the 2nd level mind power
-Psychometry at will without spending psi points. Additionally, while
-in the attunement trance you may choose to move to the perspectives of
-nearby objects within line of sight of the object you hold. The effect
-ends if your chosen object ever leaves line of sight of the original
-object.
-
-*Kinetic Avatar*: You extend your sense of self into the world around
-you, animating and controlling objects and structures in your
-vicinity, then pulling them around you in a swirling cocoon of
-armor. The effect lasts for 1 minute. After the effect ends, you gain
-one level of exhaustion.
-
- * You gain a flying speed equal to your normal speed for the
-   duration.
- * Your armor class increases by 10 for the duration, though this
-   bonus decays as parts of your Avatar armor are destroyed.
- * You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Psionist
-   level for the duration. Whenever you take damage your bonus armor
-   class decreases by 1 as part of the armor is sheared away.
- * As an action you may shed 5 points of bonus AC to manifest the 5th
-   level psionic power Animate Objects without spending psi
-   points. The animated objects can fly.  Maintaining control of the
-   animated objects requires concentration.
-
-*** Prescience [4/4]
-
-*Detect Strike*: You sense when an opponent decides to strike you and
-can mentally prepare yourself. When you are attacked by a creature you
-can see, you may use your reaction to get a +2 bonus to armor class
-against that creature until your next turn. At 14th level, this
-increases to a +4 bonus. You may use this feature a number of times
-equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 2) per short rest.
-
-*Predict Disaster*: Once per short rest, when you make a roll at
-disadvantage, you may choose to roll normally instead.
-
-*Read the Past*: If you would roll less than a 20 on a History check,
-you roll a 20 instead. If a person you hear makes a statement about a
-past event, you can tell if they are lying.
-
-*Grand Oracle*: The Myriad possibilities of time: past, present, and
-future are laid bare before you.  Through communing with the remnant
-collective consciousnesses present within the Psionic Field, you gain
-the following features:
-
- * You cannot be surprised.
- * You may manifest the 2nd level mind power Augury at will without
-   requiring components or spending psi points. The cumulative 25%
-   change of failure does not apply for the first manifestation of
-   this power each day via this feature.
- * You may manifest the 5th level mind power Commune once per day
-   without spending any psi points.
- * You may manifest the 6th level mind power Truesight once per day
-   without spending any psi points.
-
-*** Metapsionics [4/4]
-
-*Extended Focus*: You may choose both options of the Psionic Focus
-feature (both Internal and External).
-
-*Diminish/Enhance Psionics*: You have learned the deep secrets of the
-Hidden Art. Once per short rest, when you or a creature you can see
-manifests a psionic power or you encounter an existing psionic effect,
-you may choose to apply one of the following effects to modify it as a
-reaction.
-
- * _Fork/Merge_: You may increase or decrease the number of affected
-   creatures by 1 (this may not reduce the number of affected
-   creatures to 0).
- * _Expand/Contract_: You may enlarge or reduce the area of effect by 5
-   feet.
- * _Extend/Curtail_: You may increase or decrease the duration by 1
-   minute (this doesn't apply to instantaneous effects).
- * _Shape_: You may change the shape of the area of effect (but not
-   the direction). For example you could change a line to a cone.
-
-*Advanced Metapsionics*: You gain an additional use of your
-Diminish/Enhance Psionics feature per short rest and the following
-additional options.
-
- * _Counter_: You may make an Intelligence (Psionics) check against
-   10 + the power's level to end the effect.
- * _Splice_: When you manifest a psionic effect or see one being
-   manifested, as a reaction, you may to choose a psionic power of 2nd
-   level or lower that you know and add its effects (choosing targets
-   separately within the area of effect or list of targets if
-   applicable) to the manifestation. Doing so requires spending an
-   appropriate number of psi points as if you were manifesting that
-   power normally. You may not manifest that power at a level higher
-   than its level.
- * _Reflect_: If a psionic effect would target just you, you may have
-   it target the originator of the effect instead.
-
-*Unleash Potential*: Once per long rest as an action you plant a seed
-of psionic ability in a willing creature you touch. For 24 hours they
-gain the ability to manifest a psionic power of your choice of 2nd
-level or lower (or a cantrip) and gain 6 psi points. If you manifest
-this ability on the same target every day for a month (30 days), the
-change becomes permanent and the creature is considered to be able to
-innately manifest that ability. You may not grant more than one
-ability to a creature, nor can you target a creature that already can
-manifest psionic abilities. It's Mind Power Save DC and Attack
-Modifier are determined by its Intelligence.
-
-*** Domination [4/4]
-
-*Deep Suggestion*: You may manifest the second level mind power
-Suggestion once per long rest without expending any psi points. When
-you do, the creature you target has disadvantage on the saving throw.
-
-*Psychic Potency*: When you deal psychic damage to a target that is
-stunned, you may deal damage as though it were a critical strike.
-
-*Psychic Entity*: When you die, you may attempt to force your way into
-another creature's body to continue living. To do so, a target
-creature within 30 feet of you makes a Charisma saving throw. On a
-success, you die, otherwise, you take control of the target's body and
-force their consciousness into dormancy. You gain their physical
-features (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution) but retain all of your
-other traits. Once every 24 hours, or whenever you take damage greater
-than 50% of your max hit points, the dormant consciousness may attempt
-to resume control of the body by making a Charisma saving throw. On a
-success, you are forced out of the body and must either attempt to use
-this feature again on a different target or die.
-
-*Enslave*: Once per long rest as an action you may target a creature
-you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Wisdom
-saving throw or be charmed by you until you die or are on a different
-plane of existence from it. The charmed target is under your control
-and can't take reactions, and you and the target can communicate
-telepathically with each other over any distance. Whenever the charmed
-target takes damage, it can repeat its saving throw. On a success, the
-effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also
-repeat the saving throw when it is at least one mile away from you.
-
-*** Manifestation [4/4]
-
-*Astral Armor*: As an action, you may conjure a coating of astral
-matter which covers the skin. This coating lasts for 1 hour and
-radiates dim light. Your AC becomes 13 + your Dexterity modifier for
-the duration. As a reaction, you may explicitly harden the coating,
-which temporarily increases your AC to 15 + Dex, but destroys the
-armor afterwards in a flash of bright light. Creatures within 5 feet
-of you when the armor is destroyed must make a Constitution saving
-throw or be blinded until your next turn.
-
-*Astral Weapon*: You learn to emulate the effects of the 2nd level
-Cleric spell Spiritual Weapon as a 2nd level mind power except the
-conjured weapon is considered to be made of Astral matter and radiates
-dim light.  Additionally, the first time you manifest your Astral
-weapon each day, you may do so without spending psi points.
-
-*Durable Manifestation*: When you create or conjure a creature it
-gains 20 temporary hit points.  While you are wearing your Astral
-Armor, you gain 20 temporary hit points.
-
-*Astral Affinity*: Powers and effects that create creatures or
-manifestations made of astral matter cost half as much to manifest and
-last twice as long (this includes those created by your Astral Armor
-and Astral Weapon features).
-
-*** Anticipation [4/4]
-
-*Force Repulsion*: As an action you may have target creature within 60
-feet of you makes a Strength saving throw. If it fails, it is pushed
-up to 30 feet away from you and requires spending twice its movement
-to approach you until your next turn.
-
-*Kinematics*: You learn the Minor Kinematics Cantrip with the slight
-differences noted below.
-
- * It does not count against the number of Cantrips known.
- * The number of objects or creatures that can be levitated is doubled.
- * The maximum weight of an object or creature that can be levitated is doubled.
- * When lifting objects with the Minor Kinematics psionic cantrip, you
-   may attempt to attack a creature in range that you can see with
-   those objects. This attack can be made as either an action or a
-   bonus action using your Int modifier + your proficiency bonus to
-   hit. You are considered proficient with these attacks and their
-   damage is determined by the statistics of the objects being
-   levitated (e.g. a longsword would deal 1d8 + your Intelligence
-   modifier slashing damage and a levitated metal bucket would deal
-   1 + Intelligence bludgeoning damage). Floating objects can be
-   attacked or pulled downwards, which causes the cantrip's effect
-   holding them aloft to fail. If you attempt to make a ranged attack
-   with a floating object, it must have the loading property and be
-   loaded and such an attack may not be performed as a bonus
-   action. You cannot load a weapon or activate a magic item using the
-   Minor Kinematics cantrip.
-
-*Phasing*: Once per short rest, as an action on your turn, you may
-become intangible until your next turn. You may pass through solid
-objects and are invulnerable to nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, and
-piercing damage, but not structures, boundaries, or weapons created by
-magical force. Your gear may become intangible with you.  If you would
-end your turn inside an object, you take 6d8 bludgeoning damage and
-are ejected to the nearest unoccupied space.  If you end your turn
-inside another creature, you both take this damage.
-
-*Time Skip*: Once per long rest you may target a creature within 60
-feet of you.  That creature makes a Charisma saving throw.  If it
-fails, that creature skips its next round of combat.
-
-*** Apportation [4/4]
-
-*Call Energy*: You feel the cosmic pull of the planes of Positive and
-Negative Energy. Once per long rest, as an action you may cover an
-20-ft radius sphere centered at a point you can see in planar
-energy. Choose either a) the Positive Energy Plane or b) the Negative
-Energy Plane. The covered area is either a) bathed in a dull glow or
-b) shrouded in a misty shadow which a) heals each living creature in
-range by 1 hp at the end of each creature's turn or b) deals 1 damage
-per turn to all living things in range and the end of each creature's
-turn. Maintaining this effect requires concentration and may last no
-longer than a minute.
-
-*Planar Abjuration*: Once per short rest, as a reaction to a spell or
-effect within 30 ft of you that would deal fire, cold, lightning,
-thunder, radiant, or necrotic damage, you channel the powers of the
-elemental and outer planes to reduce the damage dealt by an amount
-equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Psionist level. If the
-spell or effect has an area of effect, the damage each affected
-creature takes is reduced by this much. Damage reduction is applied
-before applying resistances.
-
-*Banishing Blasts*: Once per short rest, when a creature native to a
-different plane of existence than the one it is on takes damage from
-one of your mind powers, you may have it make a Charisma saving
-throw. If it fails this saving throw, it is banished to its plane of
-origin sound for 1 minute with a faint popping sound. While there, the
-target is incapacitated. When the minute is finished, it returns to
-the nearest unoccupied space from where it left.
-
-*Whitefire Portal*: You burn a temporary hole through the Astral Plane
-and into another plane of your choice. Once per long rest, centered on
-a point within 300 ft of you, you summon raw Astral ectoplasm which
-burns with hellish, white-hot fury. Any creature standing within 20
-feet of the whitefire must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 12d10
-fire damage or half on a successful save. Inanimate objects in the
-area also take the damage and flammable objects may catch on fire. A
-portal then opens to a plane of your choice as with a Gate spell and
-remains open for 1 minute as the planes slowly knit themselves back
-together. Alternatively, instead of a specific location on a plane of
-your choice, you may choose to have your portal open into a general
-location in one of the elemental planes or the planes of positive or
-negative energy. If you do so, creatures who enter or begin their
-turns within 20 feet of the portal take 6d10 damage of the appropriate
-elemental or energy type.
-
-
-* MIND POWERS:
-
-*Mind Blast*: You magically emit psychic energy in a 60-foot cone.
-Each creature in that area must succeed on a Intelligence saving throw
-or take 5d8 psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A creature may
-repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the
-effect on itself on a success.
-
-*Mind Meld*: As an action, you may touch a creature with an
-Intelligence of 5 or greater and attempt to meld your consciousnesses
-together. Doing so can be dangerous. If you attempt to meld with an
-unwilling creature, it makes a Wisdom saving throw to block the mental
-intrusion, otherwise a link is established. While the link is active,
-thoughts, emotions, and memories are shared freely between yourself
-and the creature. During a mind meld, since your minds are linked, it
-is more difficult to lie or to hide information. To do so requires a
-Concentration (Intelligence) contest for each lie or omission. Either
-party may attempt to leave the mind meld by repeating the wisdom
-saving throw (if you attempt to leave, you must also make a wisdom
-saving throw against your Mind Power save DC). If the link is broken
-in this way, or in any other way (such as the death of one of its
-participants or being physically torn from touching one another)
-before both parties explicitly agree to do so, both parties take 10d6
-psychic damage. You may only use this feature once per long rest.
-
-*Conjure Astral Construct*: Once per long rest, as an action, you may
-create an Astral construct from Astral matter pulled from the Astral
-Plane.
-
-Though you may customize the exact form of the construct to your
-liking, the statistics for the Astral Construct are the same as that
-of the Helmed Horror (page 183 in the Monster Manual) with the
-following exceptions:
-
-It gains up to three additional options from the list below (you may
-choose the same option more than once):
-
- * Extra Attack
- * See Invisibility
- * Flash and Bellow Attack (Creatures within 30 ft make DC 15 Con
-   saves or are blinded and deafened for 1 minute. They may repeat the
-   saving throw at the end of each of their turns. Once a creature
-   succeeds, it cannot be affected again.)
- * 5d8 (22) Extra Hit Points
- * Extra Spell Immunity (Two additional spells)
- * +3 Damage on Hit
- * +1 AC
-
-*Imprisonment*: You learn the 9th level Wizard spell Imprisonment as a
-ninth level mind power. It does not count against the number of powers
-known, but costs the normal number of psi points to manifest. As a
-Mind Master, Imprisonment gains an additional option: Mind Prison. You
-may choose to Imprison the creature directly in your mind. There is no
-material component needed for this option. If you die or your
-consciousness leaves your body for a period longer than 8 hours (as
-with an Astral Projection spell), the prisoner is released. While
-imprisoned in your mind, the creature may sense what you allow it to
-sense and you may read the creature's surface thoughts as with a
-Detect Thoughts spell. No more than one creature may be imprisoned
-this way at a time.
-
-*Impose Will*: Once per short rest, you may cause a creature making a
-saving throw against one of your mind powers, abilities, or your
-psionic blast to have disadvantage on that saving throw. You must do
-so before the roll is made. Once you've used this feature on a
-creature, you may not do so again on that same creature until you
-finish a long rest.
