“Your energy never lies, and I trust in that”

Every thinking being emanates an aura that produces psychic energies the psionicst can detect and read. The source of the psychic energies originates from the emotional state of the being, and the more time the psionicist has to read the aura, the more information he can get from it. The emotions emanating from the subject have to be strong and unusual, meaning that there must be something provoking them.

A subject emotionally upset is also more vulnerable, with its ID exposed to mental infiltration. An experienced psionicist can use this altered emotional state to his advantage.

The psionicist can see the aura surrounding any living being with an intelligence of at least 3 or more.

This psionic power requires concentration, and for every round spent concentrating, the psionicist discovers more details about the target’s aura.

The initial cost is paid only once, upon activation of the psionic power.

In any subsequent round, the psionicist can attempt to read the aura of an unlimited number of targets just by paying the maintenance cost, but can only scan one target at a time.

• 1st minute. Emotional state. Anger, anxiety, calm, depression, despondency, ecstasy, fear, hostility, and sadness. The psionicist can see and interpret the psionic energies that an emotional state emanates from the target. The psionicist gains +1 on Ranged Mental Attack with the Id Insinuation mental attack.
• 2nd minute. Temporal origin of the Emotional State. Recent, average, old.
  The psionicist has now access to the temporal lobe of the brain. The target’s emotional state may be connected to an event that occurred recently (recent), in the middle term (average), or long ago (old). Of course, the reading is not objective, but subjective according to the target’s interpretation and point of view. In other words, the psionicist is measuring how deep the emotional state is buried in the temporal lobe.
  The psionicist gains +2 on Ranged Mental Attack with the Id Insinuation mental attack.
• 3rd minute. Source of the Emotional State. A physical object, unknown person, known person, close family member. The psionicist can discern what or who is responsible for the emotional state of the target. It is not possible to discover the exact nature of the source, but yes it is possible to discern if it is an object or a living being, according to the intensity of the emotional state. The psionicist gains +3 on Ranged Mental Attack with the Id Insinuation mental attack.

The psionicist needs to stare at the target to see and read the aura, but not necessarily look it in the eyes. If the target is aware of being “observed” or “read”, then the psionicist must add the target’s proficiency bonus to the DC of the power check to activate the aura sight.
