Powers (Ps): The abilities of psionicists are called simply powers, but they come in three grades.

• Devotions are simple, specific applications of psionic power.
• Sciences are more broad and complex, encompassing a few different aspects of the discipline.
• Arts are the most complicated of psionic powers, enabling the psionicist to unlock the greatest secrets of the discipline.

A psionicist can use any power she knows at will, and can improve her powers by expending power points (see below). Some powers have drawbacks when used, though these can sometimes be overcome by expending power points.

A psionicist gains additional powers known based upon her manifesting ability. She gains additional disciplines known based on the table to the right (but also pay attention to the minimum ability score requirements for accessing power grades).

A psionicist must have a manifesting ability score of at least 13 to use devotions, 16 to use sciences, and 19 to use arts.
