Psionics: Pyrokinesis
Pyrokinesis
A more rare form of psionic mastery, pyrokinesis deals with controlling and spawning heat and heat energy with the users thought processes. Psions who master this school become capable of controlling and creating large scale heat bursts and fires. Pyrokinesis carries a very negative light, as it is commonly used as a destructive power, and the use of it is considered a sign of demonic power in some cultures. It is generally the least well received of any psionic power.
School Attack Name: Flame Burst
Description: The power of fire, drawn up from the mind and willed forth by the fury in the user's heart. Known for being one the most destructive of the psionic powers, even its most basic form -- if left unchecked -- can scorch the earth.
Special Notes: At levels 4, 8, and 10 choose one of the 3 affect lines. Mix and match where you wish.
Level 1: +300
Level 2: +600
Level 3: +1000
Level 4: +1500
1.[Burn] Take 2x damage
2.[Burning 1]
3.[Rust] Armor loses 1/20th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 100
Level 5: +2000
Level 6: +3000
Level 7: +4000
Level 8: +6000
1.[3rd Degree Burn] Take 3x Damage
2.[Burning 2]
3.[Melt] Armor loses 1/10th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 250.
Level 9: +8000
Level 10: +10000
1.[Heat Exhaustion] Burn + Rolls reduced by 1/2
2.[Burning 3]
3.[Melt] Armor loses 1/10th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 250.

Heat Shield
Cost: 15 SP
Required Skill Level: 2
Untrained: No.
Type: Ability
Effect: Create and maintain a heat shield around your body. Anyone attempting to physically attack you suffers damage equal to a +200 pyrokinesis attack. The heat flowing from the users body induces the effect
Mild: [Rust] Armor loses 1/20th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 100. The shield lasts for 1d3 rounds.
Pressure Ridge
Cost: 30 SP
Required Skill Level: 3
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: By intelligently manipulating hot air, you may create ridges of intense pressure in a localized area. This forces a single target to dodge against the user's psionic skill, or face "Off Guard" effect at (+1 Severity Level/2 Levels of Pyrokinesis) due to oppressive wind.
Sustainable Manipulation
Cost: 30 SP
Required Skill Level: 3
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: Changes you make to heat/flame are preserved after you stop concentrating (as long as it is physically possible). Once you release it from your control, it will behave normally in the way that you set it.
Improved Heat
Cost: 60 SP
Required Skill Level: 4
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: Allows your thermal control to exceed 200 degrees celsius. This has the side effect of boosting your heat shield to a +200 fire attack. The increased heat now affects attacking opponents even futher.
Moderate: [Melt] Armor loses 1/10th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 250. This shield lasts for 1d6 rounds.
Advanced Heat
Cost: 120 SP
Required Skill Level: 6, Improved Heat
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: Allows your thermal control to exceed 400 degrees celsius. This has the side effect of boosting your heat shield to a +200 fire attack. The powerful fiery aura now inflicts
Acute: [Incinerate] Armor loses 1/7th of its base Physical Soak until repaired, robots at 0 lose 750. This shield lasts for 1d9 rounds.
Passive Shield
Cost: 200 SP
Required Skill Level: 8, Heat Shield
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: This allows you to create the heat shield without concentration, allowing you to take other actions in combat while generating your shield.
Liquefy
Cost: 400 SP
Required Skill Level: 10
Untrained: No.
Type: Action
Effect: The ability to reduce matter, specifically projectiles, to liquid is amongst the top tiers of power for a pyrokinetic psion. A liquefied projectile impacts its target and splatters on them, dealing its damage 1d3 times. Furthermore, liquefied projectiles ignore endurance and armor soak (they seep through it).
