 Psionic powers are purchased as skills, and drain Psi Points when used. A psion'​s pool of Psi Points determines how many powers they can use in a day, and recharges overnight, with some injectors, or after certain powerful psionic rituals. Characters can increase their pool of Psi Points by buying ranks of the Psi Capacity skill, or by buying the sixth rank of any Path. Psionic powers are purchased as skills, and drain Psi Points when used.

 Psionic abilities, when used, are usually delivered either via calls or special lammies that the psychic will show to their target. ​ Many psi powers are initiated by the [[calls_effects#​MESMERIZE]] Call – this power locks two minds together and allows the psion to use more complex powers (usually those that require lammies rather than simple game calls). ​ Psionic abilities, when used, are usually delivered either via calls or special lammies that the psychic will show to their target. ​ Many psi powers are initiated by the [[calls_effects#​MESMERIZE]] Call – this power locks two minds together and allows the psion to use more complex powers (usually those that require lammies rather than simple game calls). ​

 +=== Psionic Potential ===
 +
 +Psionic Potential costs 1 character point to buy the first rank, and each rank grants 2 extra Psi Points per day. The cost increases by 1 character point every time you buy a rank. All characters with access to Psionic Paths may purchase ranks in this skill.

 +=== Psionic Aptitude ===
 +
 +Psionic Aptitude cannot be purchased by adult characters - it is a special ability that is only possessed by children aged 7-11 who are playing members of a psionic species. This skill represents a certain psionic flexibility in minds that are only beginning to form their psionic abilities. With this skill, a character can participate in a cooperative Psionic Ritual as if they knew the power being used. Most Psionic Rituals require all of their contributors to have the power being used, but a character with this skill can contribute Psi Points and benefit from the outcomes without having the required Power.
