Psychokinetic Schema
Psychokinesis is the power to alter the rules of reality using the influence of the Aether as it flows through one's mind. Psychokinetics are able to seize control of a specific elemental force or physical law, controlling its behavior to suit their own ends. The majority of Forces Schema fall into this classification and are categorically more powerful (and more costly) than other Schema of any type. Because Psychokinetic abilities are so powerful and versatile, they are described a bit differently than other Schema. Listed with each are three suggested applications for the power along with a handful of overarching general applications. These are only suggested applications; the potential of these Schema are only limited by the players' imaginations and what the GM allows (considering both the Schema's Rank and the force it holds influence over). Though each application is described separately, they all share the same Rank as the parent Schema. For example, Gust, Jetstream, and Vaporous Grip are all considered Rank 2 when Aerokinesis reaches Rank 2.

You can manipulate the flow of air through the environment, summoning winds, changing the air pressure, or otherwise moving gaseous particles through the atmosphere. Gain a +(Aerokinesis Rank) bonus to Feats that would benefit from such action.

This also allows you to instantly douse any normal fires you encounter. You always have breathable air if you aren't in a vacuum. You can affect a (Aerokinesis Rank x 10) square meter area with this ability. Aerokinesis won't work in the absence of atmosphere (i.e. space, underwater, in a vacuum). |

Whenever you encounter an electric device or source of electricity, you can generate enough energy to power the device for (Mind) hours just by touching it. You can also overload any electrically powered device with a touch, shorting it out and rendering it useless until repaired. Conversely, if the device is currently powered or hooked up to an electric grid, you can draw power from the device as a Minor Action to recover (Mind) Resolve dice of your choice; this shorts out the device, causing it to need repairs before it will function again.

As Rank 1; while weightless, the target creature has Disadvantage on all Feats (except Saves). Rank 3
As Rank 2; you can also decrease a creature's weight in a more subtle fashion to enable them to move more quickly, unburdened by the mass of their body and gear.

As Rank 1; a Save does not prevent the effects of G-Shift from happening, but rather allows the target to grab onto something to keep from falling. Rank 3
As Rank 2; you can use G-Shift as a Free Action (Mind) times per round. rank 4
As Rank 3; you can affect up to (Mind) creatures with one use of G-Shift, pulling them all to a singular point. rank 5

This effect endures until you end it as a Minor Action, end the Scene, or are Wounded (or otherwise lose concentration). |
Lade
Minor Action - 1 Focus per Rank Target one object or creature in 20 meters Rank 1
Increase the weight of an object or creature within range by (Gravitokinesis) Blocks. If the target is a creature, they may resist with a Save. This effect is cumulative with multiple uses of Lade. A creature can sustain one instance of Lade for each Rank they have in their Body Trait, after which they become Slowed. A Save ends all instances of Lade and its effects on the creature. Lade's effects also end if you are Wounded or otherwise lose concentration (or end the effect as a Free Action). Rank 2
As Rank 1; for each instance of Lade affecting a creature, they suffer Disadvantage on one Feat of your choice each round. Rank 3
As Rank 2; instead of becoming Slowed, a creature that exceeds their Body's threshold for the Lade effect becomes Immobilized. rank 4
As Rank 3; for each instance of Lade affecting a creature, they take (Mind) physical damage at the end of their turn each round as gravity slowly crushes them. rank 5
As Rank 4; a Singularity you create through the use of G-Shift causes significant damage the closer one gets to it:

Telekinesis |
3 FORCES STRANDS |
|
You are able to move things using nothing but your will. This allows you to push, pull, levitate, or lock in place any object within 50 meters. You can lift/push/pull/lock up to (Mind + Telekinesis) Blocks worth of weight at a time. If the target object is held or attended in any way, the one attending it can Save to resist your Telekinesis.
You can levitate over the ground (and avoid ground-based hazards and obstacles) during any movement you make or use a standard action to fly (Mind + Telekinesis) meters. Ending a movement airborne costs you 1 Focus. Whenever you or an ally within 50 meters makes a Feat where a boost in strength or speed might help, you can add your Rank in Telekinesis to the number of dice rolled as you use your control over motion to assist. |

Your powers enable you to manipulate the tides of fate and fortune, not only for yourself but for everyone around you. You have a permanent bonus to your base Karma score equal to your Rank in Tychokinesis.
(Mind + Tychokinesis) times per Scene, you (as a player) may tilt any dice that is rolled one degree in a direction of your choosing; this is now the result of the roll. You can affect any one dice for each use of this ability, even dice rolled by another player or the GM but must do so as soon as the dice is rolled. Any time a Feat is attempted where pure, dumb luck could significantly affect the outcome (in the game world, not the real world where dice are involved), you may add your Rank in Tychokinesis to the total number of dice rolled. |

Synchronicity
Passive Ranks 1-5
Things always seem to work out in your favor: you're in the right place at the right time, the person you're meeting is in a great mood, and the circuitous paths of luck always seem to lead you to the best place. At the beginning of each day, tell the GM (Tychokinesis) things you'd like to achieve or see happen that day. As best he is able, the GM will seek to work out your wishes as the Rube Goldberg-esque machinations of destiny play themselves out. Be aware that the GM may interpret your requests quite literally and is free to refrain from granting you all power, fame, wealth, immortality, and other requests that are are beyond the scope of this ability or run contrary to the needs of the narrative. |
