Psionics: Photokinesis

Photokinesis

The school of photokinesis focuses on light and the manipulation of photons. Users of this school generally do not use their power to physical benefit, rather instead assisting and performing indirect actions such as changing the light level of an area to blind or hinder searches, or creating optical illusions. At higher levels, users can draw energy from photons in concentrated sources (light cannons, the ADS weapons systems).
