Concept
Psionics
Psionic abilities are grouped by scholars of magic with the inborn magical abilities of certain creatures and the supernatural powers acquired by people such as monks. What these powers share is that their users neither shape the Aether nor use Eidar in the customary way of spellcasters.1
How these abilities relate to the Aether or to Eidar remains a matter of debate. Many scholars of the arcane arts believe that such so-called techniques are an aspect of magical talent that cannot be directly studied or taught.1
