| - | The most basic power of this path is to wipe clean a memory that a willing mind has brought to the forefront of their consciousness. The psion must commune with the target character in a short rite for at least 1 minute, during which the character must describe the event, person or place they wish to forget. When the communion is complete, the memory will be gone forever, wiped from the character's mind. This power leaves no trace that can be detected and the memory is gone forever, never to be called back. | + | The most basic power of this path is to wipe clean a memory that a willing mind has brought to the forefront of their consciousness.

| - | A much more forceful and brutal version of Excise Memory, this power uses raw psionic force to destroy the contents of the mesmerized character's short-term memory. The psion spends 2 Psi points and gives the target a Mindwipe Psionic Condition card - this specifies that they forget everything that happened an hour before the power is used, as well as the use of the power itself and its immediate aftermath. The Psioinc Condition card is retained for the rest of the day (so it will show up to Psi Traces), but after that even the trace of this power fades. It is thought that this power is often used to erase the memory of events leading up to a person's abduction and psionic surgery. | + | A much more forceful and brutal version of Excise Memory, this power uses raw psionic force to destroy the contents of the mesmerized character's short-term memory.

| - | This power opens wormhole-like psionic portals using Elysian [[Nexus Tree|Nexus Trees]] as anchor points. The cost of the power in psi points may vary, but characters with this power may check how many psi points are required by attuning with the tree for a few moments (ask a referee and they will attempt to get back to you with an answer). Opening the portal requires attuning to the tree for 5 minutes while the psi points are spent. Multiple characters with this ability may collaborate to spend more psi points so that they may reach more distant destinations. Not all trees may be accessible at all times due to drifts in the psionic currents that connect them. Once the ritual has been performed, the portal will open at some point later during the event (once you have notified games ops of the use of this power, we will hopefully be able to find a clear slot for you to use the portal). Only Elysians and those who have had their minds altered by the [[Elysian Psionic Paths#Rite of Attunement]] power are able to use these portals. | + | This power opens wormhole-like psionic portals using Elysian [[Nexus Tree|Nexus Trees]] as anchor points.

| By learning to control the movement of their blood around the body, the psion can prioritise expulsion of dangerous substances before they can build up enough to cause harm. By spending 2 psi points and roleplaying meditation for 1 minute while in a [[Psionic Aura]], the psion acquires a Psionic Condition that offers some protection from toxins, radiation, poisons and the like for the remainder of the day. This will usually increase the time it takes for the toxin to affect you or progress to subsequent stages. | By learning to control the movement of their blood around the body, the psion can prioritise expulsion of dangerous substances before they can build up enough to cause harm.
