Psionics

Psionics, also known as 'psychic power' and 'Omensight' are the abilities that allow people who possess them to interact more directly with the Aether that naturally fills the world. When this Aether collects around people and responds to their emotions, it is called aura. The ability to use this Aether is often passively cultivated through ones experiences, growing their potential for a 'seed' to be 'baptized' and awakened to full psionic powers.

Abilities
The most common psionic ability is the ability to perceive aura, granting insights into the emotional state of people around the psychic. People with more control over their psionic abilities are capable of overpowering weak-willed minds, following ambient Aether trails, and using 'vectors' to affect physical space. Psionic ability is deeply tied to willpower and sense of self. Notably, Ulyana Korabiskaya would find it exceptionally difficult to gain psionic abilities due to her strong will limiting access to her mind to even incredibly skilled psychics. Sonya Shalikova is also uniquely special, in both having great potential for psionic abilities and having an aura that is completely invisible to other psionics unless she desires it.

Aetherics
Considered a more complex sub-discipline of psionics, Aetherics is the informal study of the complexities of aura and Aether and their capabilities. Daksha Kansal is one of the most capable in Aetherics due to her research while a part of the Sunlight Foundation.

Jagers
Related to psionics and potentially Omenseers, the Jagerkorps of the Imbrian Inquisition undergo a physically grueling process that unlocks limited psionics, such as the capability to read aura. Its most notable and unique ability is tied to the Jagers ability to physically shape and remodel every part of their body at will with extremely precise control.

The Gifts
Three aetheric abilities are immensely rare and difficult to acquire, requiring strong understandings of aura and an immensely strong will to gain use of. They have names that are revealed to those who have control over Oracle's Voice, making it capable to perceive when someone is using the gifts.

• Oracle's Voice is the first ability that is awakened among the three and the most common, arising naturally from extensive interaction and sight of aura. It grants the ability to perceive more subtle shifts in the Aether and the usage of gifts by other psionics.

• Saint's Skin is the second, and is more active, requiring adjusting ones own aura and environmental aether. It is capable of granting protection from Aetheric attacks, solidifying and defending ones emotional state from attempts to harm or fray it.

• King's Gaze is the rarest gift, believed previously to be representative of the 'divine right of kings'. It grants the capability of using aura and aether to directly attack and harm others mentally and physically. It also allows for the most complex and detailed meddling of aura, with Norn von Fueller able to make use of her King's Gaze to permanently lock Elena Lettiere's psionic abilities behind a vision that harms her upon attempt to access her abilities. There appear to be variations as well, Vesna Nasser using the King's Scorn to physically rend Homa Baumann through her Diver.
