The Metafunctions

Creativity:

Ability of the mind to formulate novel ideas or exert a direct influence upon matter or energy. Ranges from artistic talent and scientific facility to powerful mind bolts of psychoenergy. Usual manifestations include shape-shifting; illusion generation, invisibility, flame, light, electrical bolt generation through simple chemical decomposition of organic or atmospheric molecules, body aura generation, temperature changing or the modification of physical appearance of substances. Less common are: phasing through objects, transmuting matter to energy, psychocreative bubble or other shield generation, weather modification. Often combined with PK in matter modification and redaction in healing.

Coercion:

The ability of one mind to influence or exact force of will upon another. Strong latents include actors and great leaders. Aspects are charm, charisma, animal magnetism, presence, force of personality and hypnotism.

Farsensing:

Embraces telepathy (farspeech), extended sight (farsight or clairvoyance), extended hearing (clairaudience), deep sight ('x-ray' vision) and other metacommunications. The most common metafunction and it has much room for expansion.

Psychokinesis:

Involves the ability of a mind to move or otherwise manipulate matter, known also as telekinesis.

Redaction:

Psychic healing, mind alteration, mind editing. Rarest of all metafunctions, involves the ability of the mind to exert healing power upon its own body or mind or those of another. It also encompasses empathy and solace giving.

VERY RARE:

Prolepsis, precognition, d-jumping or teleportation, bilocation, deja-vu, synchronicitous phenomena (influencing future events) and cosmic consciousness.
