Sphere of Matter: Psychics who harness this ability are able to interact with matter on a level normal people cannot. They can affect change on material levels with a complexity that mechanical means cannot mimic

 
1) Psychokinesis - This ability has been observed under laboratory
conditions as one of the more prevalent among psychic talents. Somehow
the subject is able to move objects from one area to another or bend
them through sheer exertion of will.  Factors dependant on strength of
ability are RESISTANCE of object to be affected (usually this is
weight, but can depend on other physical things like momentum, etc.),
RANGE TO OBJECT, SPEED, and possibly RANGE TO TARGET.

2) Psychopyresis - Subjects are able to counteract thermodynamic
principle and increase disorganization anywhere in an object they
choose.  Result is to create heat within the object, and ultimately
cause its combustion.  Several spontaneous human combustions have been
attributed to this phenomenon.  Factors dependant on strength of
ability are size of object (RESISTANCE), SPEED of combustion, RANGE TO
OBJECT, and also possibly RANGE TO TARGET.

3) Adrenal Boost - Some subjects are capable of consciously increasing
their adrenal flow, sometimes creating a heretofore unexpected
increase in strength, agility, or dexterity.  Obvious factors in this
case are SPEED of chemical response, and DURATION of episode.  Also,
there may be a measure of RESISTANCE involved if the body has been
exerted recently.

4) Rapid Healing - Subjects with this ability have shown that they can
more rapidly mobilize body resources to healing moderate to severe
injuries.  Usually the Subject does not have the strength to undertake
any other activity, and sometimes when injuries are very serious, the
Subject goes into a trancelike comatose state only waking when the
injuries have completely healed.  Factors dependant on strength of
ability are severity of injury (RESISTANCE), and DURATION of healing
time.  Some Subjects have shown the ability to heal others as well,
but only at double the cost of their normal use of the power for
themselves.

5) Slowed Breathing - This ability allows the subject to survive in
some very adverse conditions.  One is capable of holding one's breath
for unusually long periods of time, or even appearing as if one was
dead, breathing at such a slowed rate that one cannot detect life
within the Subject.  Factors dependant on strength of ability are
DURATION lacking oxygen and rate of activity of Subject (RESISTANCE).

6) Tolerance Adjustment - Subjects can actually readjust their levels
of nervous tolerance, i.e. sensations of pain, pressure, or
temperature.  Typically this is most casually demonstrated in Asia,
where fire-walking and piercing the body without causing bleeding are
commonplace.  Subjects can typically only suppress one type of
sensation at a time.  DURATION of suppression and RESISTANCE to
sensation are important Factors.

7) Mass Adjustment - Subjects with this ability can somehow
temporarily alter the mass of any object, increasing or decreasing it
to whatever point they choose - making a lead weight as light as a
feather, for example.  Mass of Object (RESISTANCE) and DURATION of
adjustment are the Factors involved.

8) Decay - Some advanced subjects are actually able to make objects
increase their entropy to a very great degree, breaking down molecular
bonds and actually causing objects to decay to a state unrecognizable
from their previous form.  DURATION of Decay time, and RESISTANCE
(usually size) of the decaying Object are important.

9) Reconstitution - It is also possible for some subjects to somehow
detect how an object was originally constituted and "repair" it to
something of its original state; it is essentially the opposite of the
Decay power.  Important Factors include ACCURACY of reconstruction,
DURATION of reconstitution time, and size of the Object (RESISTANCE).

10) Force Field - A subject with this power is actually capable of
projecting a "wall" of pure force in front of themselves, sometimes
actually all the way around him or herself in a kind of "sphere". In
addition to being a defensive action, some users of the ability have
found themselves capable of projecting the force, almost like a kind
of "invisible fist".  RANGE TO TARGET and/or RANGE TO OBJECT, SPEED of
the field if moving, RESISTANCE of the opposing forces, and of course
the RADIUS of the field are all significant.
