Successes rolled indicate not only how finely this psychic energy is brought in to the physical reality, but also how many turns it can last. Note that the psychic can cancel this at any time, and the manifestation will disappear.
Successes | Duration |
1 | The manifestation will last for a turn, and though functional in a base way, is far from ideal. |
2 | The manifestation will last for a minute per level, and is adequate for the necessary task. |
3 | The manifestation lasts for the duration of the scene, and is exactly what the psychic had intended to create - no more, no less. |
4 | The psychic is granted access to this creation for an hour. |
5 | The vision manifests in perfect clarity, and lingers for up to a day. |
It should be noted that if the manifestations are destroyed or broken physically, the psychic must roll Wits or be stunned for the next round under minor psychic backlash – a sharp headache is common with this sort of circumstance.

[ 1 ] Manifesting ( XXX - Page X )
This is a rudimentary ability, clumsy and inarticulate. There is material generated, but as far as style, form and durability go, this is rather the equivalent of a five-year-old’s finger painting. There could be formless lights at this stage, or a glob of material that can be physically worked, but it’s nothing to write home about.
[ 2 ] Impression ( XXX - Page X )
The psychic begins to articulate their mental impressions into the physical world – base shapes begin to take form. Stair, stick, ball, tool. They are capable of making a flat surface to hold something up, for instance.
[ 3 ] Control ( XXX - Page X )
Things are shaping up – there’s finer control now, but no moving pieces to the manifestations. At this stage people might find some detail in the manifestations, and they tend to last a little longer as the psychic becomes more accustomed to pouring their impressions out into the world.
[ 4 ] Art ( XXX - Page X )
At this stage, many things are possible. The psychic could feasibly write or put a mental image onto paper, or create an image of it in the air. ‘Light shows’, hypnotic patterns, physical shields and more are all possible.
[ 5 ] Function ( XXX - Page X )
The psychic is capable of creating a fully functioning thing of intricate detail and artistic expression limited mostly by the imagination, and the threat of MiB’s.
