Psychokinesis & Element Manipulation — Moving the World With the Mind

← Back to Gifted

Overview

Kinetics combine Psychokinesis — moving and manipulating matter through will — with Element Manipulation — influence over a chosen element (fire, water, earth, or air, picked at creation). What unites these is force: the Kinetic exerts direct will on the physical world in ways impossible to mistake for anything else. Of all the Psychic types, Kinetics have the hardest time maintaining their masking practice.

Masking Practice

Kinetics typically mask as Druid Sorcerers for element-based work, or Artificer Sorcerers for object manipulation — carrying components relevant to their element and performing visible rituals before use.

Strength & Weakness

Strength: Physical Force	Weakness: Hardest to Hide
The most directly dangerous Psychic type in physical confrontation — never unarmed, never without options in a crisis.	Kinetic ability is the hardest to explain away. Every use in front of witnesses is a potential Exposure event.
