astra_aurora Hello and welcome back to Power Theory. Today, we're discussing ESP powers, which can basically be defined as any mental power that isn't telepathy, telekinesis or telempathy.
Clairvoyance involves getting flashes of the future. These can be triggered by anything, and can't be stopped. The more skilled you are, the longer and more detailed the flashes.
Divining involves touching an object and seeing its purpose, what it's made of, who it's been owned/used by, what it's done, and when it was made. The more skilled you are, the more you can pick up.
Finding involves locating anything, from an object to a person. Finders usually see the object/person, in it/their current surroundings, in their heads. The more skilled the finder, the more they can see. How long it takes for the finder to find the lost thing depends on their skill. The other skill-dependent factor is what it takes for the finder to find the lost thing- some can find things based on a sketch or a description, others by their personal experience with the lost thing, and some by photos or pieces of the lost thing only.
Future divining is a mix of clairvoyance and divining in that the diviner touches the object and sees what it will be used for in the future. Again, how much they can see depends on their skill level.
Astral projection involves the projector separating most of their mind from their body and sending it into the material world. Astral projectors cannot be seen or felt (except by other psychics), but they can be heard (but only if they talk). Projectors can't telepathically speak unless they are a psychic or telepath, and they can't influence the material world unless they're kinetic. What they can do is enter another person's mind. However, they can't influence said mind unless they're psychic of some kind, but they can talk to that person mentally. A projector can actually take over someone's mind in one of three ways: they can subtly influence the person's thinking so the person doesn't know they're being controlled, they can dominate the mind so it's like a horse and they're the jockey, or they can completely crush the resident mind and take over the body.
That concludes this post. Next... whatever I think of.
