Psionics

A rare and poorly understood phenomenon, often misclassified by the Crown as enchantment or subtle bardic magic.

• Characteristics: Unlike standard arcane practice, it requires no components or gestures. It manifests as "Pressure"—a psychic weight that bends the will of others or distorts reality.
• Status: Because it is invisible and leaves no physical trace (unlike fire or lightning), it is difficult to legislate against, making it a source of deep anxiety for the Valentian administration.
