By focusing on refining their capability with their basic telekinetic abilities, psions can develop the ability to focus it into more than merely blunt, impacting force. While this has no real impact on damage directly dealt, in most cases, it can give them the edge they need in some scenarios.

T E C H N I C A L - S P E C I F I C A T I O N S

Each level improves the ability of the psion to shape their gimme telekinetics. This tech does not affect other techs -- only gimmes. However, it may be used as a credential to create techs with the same effects. This technique does not allow the user to change the actual visual properties of their efforts, aside from physical shape. It also does not effect the statistical version of the telekinetic effect it warps.

  • Level 1 - Enables piercing attacks of a roughly conical shape.
  • Level 2 - Enables slashing attacks, much like the blade of an axe.
  • Level 3 - Enables creation of complex inanimate objects; chairs, swords, shields, and so on. However, these objects only persist for the single post they are created in.
  • Level 4 - Enables creation and maintenance of complex psionic objects, both animate and inanimate. This includes animals, working body parts, and so on. The objects may move around and articulate as per the user's will. However, the psion must be able to expend as many psi slots as was invested into the effect for each post in excess of the first it is to be maintained. This level of TK Hone requires completion of Level 4 of the Psi CT "Spatial Reach" in order to be researched.

Each level costs 60 (45/75) tech days, and the earlier levels must, as always, be completed prior to the latter levels.
