Mind Wipe
This ability allows you to reduce your targets threat for you or whoever is at the top of their agro list
Effects: Change aggression list, or make the opponent forget their tasks for a few seconds. Range and duration may be increased as the caster levels.
Cost: Requires MA to be at 55
Caution: This spell can increase in both range and severity. From a single target, to a full raid—it’s all possible. Just remember someone else needs to take that agro, or else you’ll be the main target.
Shield Expansion
This ability allows you to extend your individual mental shielding against mental or magical attacks over others.
Effect: If attacked with magic (mind or spell), this shield will protect those under it from damage or effects
Cost: Requires 10MA per person covered
Kinetic Strand - Psionicist
Forcefield Barrier
This is the first in your kinetic line of spells. Once triggered by luck, you can now activate it at will. It allows you to form a bubble of mental energy and transform it into a tangible forcefield.
Effects: This can prevent some physical damage. The damage amount depends on the strength of will and caster behind the barrier. Size is increased by MA level and usage
Cost: This shield requires your MA to be at 60, but will not use MA to cast as it is a kinetic ability.
Caution: This spell can create a backlash when used too much. Do not use it as a crutch.
Base Kinetic Structure
In order to take advantage of your ability to turn thoughts into weapons, you must reinforce the skills that ground all of your telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
Effect: This ability allows you to strengthen the base of all three arms of psionics. Thought Shielding will eventually physically repel an attack. Thought Sensing can break through others’ shields to reveal what is hidden. Thought Projection can lend solidity to the induced hallucinations managed once skill level 250 is passed.
Cost: This is a passive skill and will begin working to bolster your abilities as soon as you absorb it.
Caution: Do not presume to know how this passive ability works. You will need to test this out. The difference for these abilities between telepathy and telekinesis is very fine. What this ability does is allow your kinetic field to grow at the same rate as your telepathy. What it does not do is make you infallible. Always remember that if you’re not sure, you can do more damage than you think. Not only to yourself, but to those you target.
Mental Acuity (MA) Level Four (4)
Forcefield Push
Once used wildly, you can now activate this at will. This will form a bubble of force projecting directly outwards from you in an arc and push anything in its path out of your way. Having this ability directly available will now allow you to develop some measure of control.
Effects: This will cause some physical and mental damage to any opponent caught in the range of the push. The amount of damage inflicted depends on the level and strength of will behind the push. Damage is increased by MA level and usage.
Cost: This push requires that you have MA at eighty, but will not use MA to cast, as it is a kinetic ability. Can only be used once every five minutes.
Caution. This spell can create a mind backlash if over-utilized. Make sure those in your path are not allies, as this ability does not discriminate between friend and foe.
Unless you want to make them a foe. Then they’re fair game. Remember, try and maintain control.
Phantom
This ability allows you to convince your enemies that you are a different target. This renders you invisible to their aggro radar for all intents and purposes.
Effect: This ability not only transfers your generated aggro, but also takes you off the targetable list for the duration. It transfers aggression to your target, giving them your appearance, and rendering you invisible to any enemy near you. This may be used on allies, but also on enemies.
Cost: this ability requires MA to be at a minimum of 50, drains 5 MA per second, and will adjust as MA level and usage of this ability increase. Requires Charisma to be at 150 or more. Cannot be chained, must wait at least 5 minutes for MA to regenerate.
Caution: Make sure you do not cause your MA to run out. Should that happen, backlash will render the caster unconscious for a period of seconds not less than half the caster’s level. Make sure you choose your targets wisely.

Type: Breakable Stun
Duration: 24 seconds
Effect: This spell immobilized your opponent for as long as they take no damage, or 24 seconds, whichever is shorter.

Allure

Altruism

Type: Buff
Duration: 45 minutes
Effect: This allows a faction increase to your target. It will lift you one faction level. However, should you be kill on sight, not even altruism can help you. This buff will update again at level 30.

Beserker

Enrage
Cast: Self or others
Type: Buff... sort of
Duration: 15 minutes
Effect: This buff will cause your target to receive some of the aggression generated by you. The mob will assume it comes from the target of this spell. This spell is intended for tank types or pets to take on. Only cast it on someone else if you really, really don’t like them, or maybe if you’re running for your life. Also — this can only be cast on one target at a time.
Signet
Cast: Group
Type: Buff
Duration: 45 minutes
Effect: This buff will increase the intelligence and agility of all group members by an amount equal to the caster’s level. Signet will not stack with Fervor, and can be overridden by casting the latter, should melee need their own boost. Both stats will be boosted to the level of the caster.
