Capabilities[]
The user of this ability is always a type of psychic, who is able to generate or channel great amounts of psychic energies into a blast, bolt, beam, wave or pulse of damaging energies from their minds to another living being's brain, which can result in permanent brain damage, memory loss, unconsciousness, vegetative state, and even brain death; however, this blast of energy can also be temporarily harmful to the mind depending on the power output and strength from the discharging psychic of that blast.
Unlike psionic inundation, which is the power to mentally overload the brain with psychic energy by mentally inducing and manifesting psychic energy within the brain of those being affected by will alone, causing the victim to spontaneously experience mental harm/pain, death, etc., while psychic blasts will have the same effects on the minds of others their function is different, enabling the buildup of energy that's projected outwards in an energized blast from the brain of the user at another's mind/minds, jolting and bombarding their brains also to cause great confusion, pain, harm/damage and even brain death. This also shouldn't be mistaken with telekinetic blasts, as this form of psionic force blast affects all forms of matter, both living and inanimate objects. In contrast, psychic blasts only affect the minds or nervous systems of living organisms. More powerful and advanced users of psychic blasts have been shown to affect inanimate objects, due to the sheer force of power released, as well as combining psychokinetic energies within those energy blasts.
