Psionic disciplines
A psionic discipline is a concentration of mental energy that produces an effect, such as inflicting damage, providing protection, healing wounds, or providing special abilities. All characters are capable of forming psionic disciplines from psionically imbued items such as scrolls and rings. However, Mentalists, Healers, and Thieves are capable of using their mental energy to form psionic disciplines without having to use psionically imbued items. Each psionic discipline has an associated Psionic Energy Cost, Stress Factor, and a possible Side Effect. Psionicists who use their innate ability to form a discipline must deal with all three components of the discipline. If you form a discipline from an item, you do not expend any psionic energy or experience any stress. However, you do experience any side effect that is associated with the discipline.

Psionic disciplines have a limited duration depending on the skill level of the psionicist forming the discipline. Damage-inflicting disciplines usually cause increasing amounts of damage according to how high the psionicist's skill level is. Some disciplines can be formed on yourself and others. Some disciplines strike or affect a single target, and some affect a larger area. Be careful when you form disciplines that affect larger areas, because you may inflict damage on non-hostile creatures, your allies, or yourself.
