	As a free action the psychic activates this power, which lasts until it is discharged. Once the psychic strikes the target the target resists with Strength+Vigor. If the target fails to resists, she is paralyzed for a number of combat rounds equal to the Vps minus the Vps on the target's resistance roll.

			Roll: Intuition+Bedlam.

			By focusing her psychic power into her limbs or melee weapon the psychic is able to strike with greater force, far greater than the basic prana disciplined learned by all Dervishes. The psychic adds three times the VPs on the activation roll to all damage for the duration of the power. This power is activated as a free action. While this power is active the psychic positively radiates glowing energy- the greater the number of VPs the greater the dervishes' aura.

	The psychic gathers her energy and releases it in an explosive charge. The psychic may fight defensively while gathering power for this technique at a -2, but she may take no aggressive action. At the end of the round the energy she has gathered is treated as the detonation of a plasma grenade, centered on the psychic. The psychic does not take any damage.

	Drawing upon her own internal spiritual energies as well as ambient electrical energy in the air, the psychic wills a vortex of lightning and plasma into existence anywhere within sight. This vortex is 3 meters wide x VPs rolled, and anyone caught in it takes damage as if caught in the blast of a plasma grenade. The vortex lasts only a single round, but it may be extended at the cost of an additional stun wound every round.

	The psychic is in the process of learning to use her own psychic energies to create vis flows within herself. At this level of mastery she can only hold onto the charge for a short few moments before it is discharged. This is enough time, though, to strike an individual with a sword and release the vis energy through a sword, fist, or kick. The psychic makes a free activation roll to charge up her body. She may hold the charge for a number of rounds equal to her resolve. When the character strikes an opponent she may release the charge, doing extra Lethal energy damage equal to the number of VPs rolled on the activation roll.

While the charge is held blue-white electricity runs up and down the length of the psychic's arms and into the weapon being held (or down her legs if she is using her legs to kick).

	Note that if the psychic is using a technique that slips underneath shields (fencing or grappling, for example), this damage is added after any damage reduction is calculated.
