Range: 0
Area of Effect: Personal
Duration: Instantaneous
Save: None
Prerequisites: 6th Level, Contact
Required For: Psionic Vampirism
Psychic drain allows the psionicist to tap into the personal, psychic energy of other people to augment his own psionic strength. The host must be willing, but need not be a psionicist himself. The host’s intelligence, wisdom, and constitution are each lowered by one point, while the psionicist enjoys a burst of 30 PSPs added to his total. If he exercises moderation, the psionicist does not harm his hosts.

This power allows the psionicist to store psionic energy in a special receptacle. Only gemstones have the right resonance to store psionic strength points, the purer the better. When he uses this power, the psionicist forces some of his own PSPs into the matrix of the gem. It will remain there indefinitely, until used.

A stasis field is a region in which time seems to slow to a crawl. Time within the field seems to come to a complete halt for all except the psionicist that created it. This power takes much focus and the Psion needs 3 rounds to prepare himself between uses.

Prerequisites: 10th level, Psionic Blast
Required For: None
A character using psionic ultrablast can overwhelm and damage nearby psyches. To do this he casts horrid thought waves in all directions. All those within range must make a will saving throw or become rendered unconcious from the trauma. Even those that save suffer 3d6 points of damage. This is a very taxing power on the Psion and she has a chance of passing out from the strain of releasing the energy.
