Read Thoughts
Disciplines: Divination, Telepathic
Difficulty: Opposed
Focus Cost: 4
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 20 Spaces
Duration: Concentration
Effect/Value: Perceive a creature’s conscious thoughts.
Resistance: Opposed Power using Psionics Resistance or Will Power.
Manifestation Options: Psychic (Default), Dream, Spirit
Shape Options: Target (Default)
Component Options: Somatic
Signature Effect Options: Player’s Choice
Specialization: Optional
Effect: The psion perceives the conscious thoughts of a target creature.
By default, the Power reveals what the target is actively thinking about at the moment of contact. Surface thoughts, intentions, emotions, and immediate mental focus are readily perceived, but memories, subconscious thoughts, and hidden knowledge require additional effort or Result Point Enhancements.
The target is not automatically aware that its thoughts are being read unless the Game Master determines there is a noticeable psychic interaction.
Specializations & Example Uses
| Specialization | Description |
|---|---|
| Surface Thoughts | Read only a target’s immediate conscious thoughts with exceptional clarity. |
| Interrogation | Specialize in extracting answers to specific questions from a target’s thoughts. |
| Lie Detection | Detect deception by comparing thoughts with spoken words. |
| Emotional Insight | Perceive the target’s dominant emotions and motivations alongside their thoughts. |
| Memory Search | Efficiently search for specific memories or information within the target’s mind. |
| Truth Sense | Discern whether a target genuinely believes what they are thinking or saying. |
Discipline Notes
Telepathic (Psionics): The psion establishes direct mental contact, perceiving the target’s conscious thoughts and active mental processes.
Divination (Magick): The caster mystically perceives the target’s surface thoughts as hidden knowledge revealed through supernatural insight. Rather than entering the target’s mind, the caster divines the information that the target is consciously thinking.
Result Point Enhancements
| RP Cost | Enhancement |
|---|---|
| 1 | Double the Base Duration. |
| 1 | Double the Base Range. |
| 1 | Learn one additional related thought or topic. |

| 3 | Search the target’s mind for a specific memory or piece of information. |
| 4 | Conduct an exhaustive mental search, uncovering hidden, suppressed, or forgotten information, subject to GM approval. |
Restrictions
- Read Thoughts perceives information only; it does not alter or control the target’s mind.
- The Power reveals thoughts as they exist in the target’s mind, which may be incomplete, inaccurate, or intentionally misleading.
- Deeply buried, magically protected, or suppressed memories may require additional Result Points or may be inaccessible, at the Game Master’s discretion.
- Reading multiple minds simultaneously requires an appropriate Enhancement or separate use of the Power.

Suggestion
Disciplines: Divination, Empathic, Telepathic
Difficulty: Opposed
Focus Cost: 4
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 20 Spaces
Duration: 10 Minutes
Effect/Value: Implant a subtle idea, impulse, or course of action into the target’s mind.
Resistance: Opposed Power (Will Power against unwilling targets. A willing target may choose not to resist.)
Manifestation Options: Arcane (Default), Crystal, Psychic, Shadow, Spirit
Shape Options: Target (Default)
Component Options: Verbal, Somatic, Material Focus
Signature Effect Options: Player’s Choice
Specialization: Required
Power Specialization & Example Uses
| Specialization | Example Uses |
|---|---|
| Compel Action | Encourage a target to perform a simple, reasonable task or action. |
| Compel Truth | Suggest that answering questions honestly is the best course of action. |
| Distraction | Cause the target to focus on another person, object, or event. |
| Forget | Encourage the target to overlook or ignore something it has seen or heard. |
| Influence | Steer the target toward a particular opinion or decision. |
| Misdirection | Convince the target to investigate or pay attention to the wrong thing. |
| Pacify | Encourage the target to avoid violence or abandon hostile intentions. |
| Trust | Convince the target that a creature is trustworthy or harmless. |
| Withdrawal | Encourage the target to leave an area or avoid further involvement in a situation. |
Effect: The caster subtly influences the target’s thoughts by implanting a believable idea, suggestion, or impulse. The target perceives the suggestion as a reasonable course of action rather than recognizing it as supernatural manipulation.
The suggestion must be simple, plausible, and capable of being completed within the Power’s duration. The target will not knowingly perform obviously suicidal acts, actions that directly violate its core beliefs or loyalties, or actions that are clearly impossible.
Suggestion influences judgment rather than overriding free will. More direct mental control requires the Dominate Power.
Discipline Notes
Divination (Magick): The caster glimpses the target’s probable thoughts and choices, then subtly guides its decisions toward a desired outcome. Rather than overwhelming the target’s will, the magic presents the suggestion as the most natural or reasonable course of action.
Empathic (Psionics): The psion subtly influences the target’s emotional state and instincts, encouraging it to perceive the suggested action as the safest, wisest, or most desirable choice. The target believes the decision arises from its own feelings rather than outside influence.
Telepathic (Psionics): The psion implants a carefully crafted mental impulse that the target accepts as its own idea or conclusion.
Result Point Enhancements
| RP Cost | Enhancement |
|---|---|
| 1 | Double the Base Duration. |
| 1 | Increase the Base Range to 40 Spaces. |
| 1 | Make the suggestion unusually convincing, granting a bonus against attempts to recognize outside influence. |
| 2 | Affect one additional target. |
| 2 | Increase the Base Duration to 1 hour. |
| 2 | Delay the suggestion until a specified trigger or condition occurs. |
| 3 | Increase the Base Range to Line of Sight. |
| 3 | Allow the suggestion to persist until the instructed task is completed, subject to GM approval. |
| 4 | Affect all valid targets within a Small Burst. |
Restrictions
- Suggestion cannot directly control a creature’s actions; use Dominate for complete mental control.
- Suggestion cannot force a target to commit obvious suicide or perform actions that are clearly impossible.
- Suggestion cannot compel actions that fundamentally violate the target’s deepest convictions, loyalties, or instincts, subject to GM approval.
- Only one active Suggestion may affect a target at a time; if multiple Suggestions are applied, only the most recent successful one remains in effect unless the GM rules otherwise.

Empathic (Psionics): The psion disrupts the target’s biological or psychic potential, temporarily preventing a specific capability from manifesting.

The destination must be within the Power’s range and must be a location the caster can clearly perceive or accurately identify. If the destination is occupied or otherwise unsuitable, the teleport fails at the Game Master’s discretion.
Teleport ignores physical barriers, terrain, and intervening obstacles, but it cannot bypass effects that specifically prevent teleportation or dimensional travel.
Discipline Notes

Manifestation Options: Arcane (Default), Beast, Life, Nature, Psychic, Spirit
Shape Options: Touch (Default), Target
Component Options: Verbal, Somatic, Material Focus
Signature Effect Options: Player’s Choice
Specialization: Required
Effect: The caster transforms a living creature into another living form appropriate to the chosen specialization.
The target assumes the physical appearance, movement capabilities, natural attacks, natural armor, and other inherent biological characteristics of the new form. Unless otherwise noted, the target retains its own memories, personality, and mental abilities.
Equipment does not transform unless the Game Master rules otherwise. Worn or carried equipment may merge into the new form or fall to the ground, depending on the nature of the transformation.

Discipline Notes
Alteration (Magick): The caster magically restructures the target’s body into a completely different biological form while preserving its life essence.
Empathic (Psionic): The psion guides the target’s life force into a new biological pattern, causing its body to naturally regenerate and adapt into the desired form. Rather than forcing physical change, the transformation emerges from the creature’s own vital essence.
Telekinetic (Psionics): The psion exerts extraordinarily precise psychokinetic control over every cell of the target’s body, reorganizing its biological structure into a new form while preserving the creature’s life force and consciousness.
Visionary (Psionics): The psion reshapes the target’s physical form through profound psychic control over biological structure and self-image. A Visionary psion doesn’t directly manipulate cells—they alter that psychic template. Once the template changes, the body instinctively reshapes itself to match.

The transformed object functions as though it were naturally made from the new material. Unless enhanced, the transformation is temporary, after which the object returns to its original form.

Signature Effect Options: Player’s Choice
Effect: The caster conceals a creature, object, or area from ordinary perception.
While Veil is in effect, observers suffer a -2D penalty to Notice Tests made to perceive the concealed target through normal senses. If an observer cannot overcome this penalty, they fail to perceive the target.
Veil affects only ordinary perception. It does not protect against supernatural powers such as Detect, Analyze, Clairvoyance, Locate, or Scry. Use Conceal to hide from supernatural detection.

- Wrap yourself in supernatural shadows.
- Cloak an object from ordinary sight.
- Hide an entire campsite.
- Conceal a doorway or passage.

Conjuration (Magick): The caster surrounds the target with a supernatural veil that bends light, shadows, mist, or magical energy to obscure it from view.
Telepathic (Psionics): The caster subtly influences nearby minds, causing observers to unconsciously overlook, ignore, or dismiss the target’s presence.
Visionary (Psionics): The caster distorts the perceptions of nearby observers, subtly altering what they see so the target becomes difficult to notice.
