| Neuropaths are individuals who have (usually) accidentally gone down a path of self-training that essentially involves a lot of emotion and stain. Almost all trained empaths believe that this is a very detrimental road down which to travel, because the results almost always include extreme negative effects by the users. That said, some Neropaths are capable of rather extreme feats of empathic power. They simply tend to pay far too high a price for using these abilites, up to and including dying from over-use. | Neuropaths are individuals who have (usually) accidentally gone down a path of self-training that essentially involves a lot of emotion and stain.

Therefore, psioncs may not learn Mysticism techniques. | Psionics is a rigorous, scientific approach to empatic power.

| Sorcery is an expanded use of the ability known as dimension walk (see below), where portals are opened to other worlds, and the differences in the worlds exploited to create effects. What effects can be created are myriad. Before one can be a sorcerer, one has to learn dimension walk as either a mystic or a psionic. Sorcery is a huge array of abilites, and most sorcerers tend to focus on one type of sorcerous power associated with a single alternate dimension. | Sorcery is an expanded use of the ability known as dimension walk (see below), where portals are opened to other worlds, and the differences in the worlds exploited to create effects.
