Capabilities

The user can utilize the psychological arts, a specialized system of techniques based around psychological power. Psychology is the science that seeks to comprehend the mind and behavior. It can take various forms from analyzing neurological factors to comparing social aspects like culture, politics and religion. It can even be used, as a result of said analyses, to change the nature of how people think and act. While it is normally an inquisitive discipline dedicated to answering questions, one can learn to wield compelling, even preternatural might using psychology.

Students, a basic level, can use their understanding of individual behaviors and eccentricities to predict actions, counteract offensive maneuvers or diffuse tense situations through conversation. One could learn to affect another’s mental processes through various practices (psychic power, magic, spiritual force). At higher levels, uses can create reality warping effects based on the mind itself, ranging from entering an individual’s consciousness or pulling them into theirs to summoning mental aspects like the Id or the Persona into physical reality.
