Cosmius-sensitive

A **Cosmius-sensitive**, also known as a **Cosbeing**, was a being who was highly attuned to the flow of the Cosmius. Cosmius-sensitives could, with training, learn to sense and manipulate the Cosmius. Cosmius-sensitives who gained powers and abilities through the Cosmius became Cosmius Adepts.

A molecosmian count through special testing could determine how strong one was in the Cosmius. Trained Zêirí and No'med could *sense* high levels of the Cosmius in individuals. The presence of Cosmius-sensitives in a *vicinity* could also be sensed. If, however, one who was powerfully Cosmius-sensitive―such as Asolas, Dom, or Vaylia Neilson―willed it, even subconsciously, they (or perhaps even the Cosmius itself) could hide or "shroud" them from detection in the Cosmius.

To achieve higher levels of accuracy in Cosmius-sensitive detection for candidacy, trained Zêirí performed special tests to measure molecosmian counts in cells (such as Dr. Ryan Chan, did for Tom Thompson).

## Species and objects

Species with high number of Cosmius-sensitives included Zathurams, Netromorphs and especially the Anjo'nians. Species producing low numbers of Cosmius-sensitives included the Sathrons, Humans, and Raveums. The Anjo'nians were entirely composed of Cosmius-sensitives. Zathurams may all have possessed the ability to sense the Cosmius, although they had little practical use for it.

A creature or object did not necessarily need to be sentient to be able to possess Cosmius sensitivity. The Sword of Adeisus by unknown means appeared to be Cosmius-sensitive. Other Cosmius-sensitive objects included the Cube of Wisdom, Keys of the Aala'rak, and the Tirinite crystals were even said to be Cosmius-sensitive.

## Abilities of Force-sensitives

The Cosmius, being far more powerful than any machine in the galaxy, had the ability to be used as a weapon by the No'med, or as a tool by the Zêirí. In either case, the Cosmius gave Cosmius-sensitives the ability to perform actions that would have otherwise been considered impossible. Some Cosmius powers included healing, psychokinesis, increased physical abilities, foresight, and various offensive techniques.

Most untrained Cosmius-sensitives still had raw Cosmius associated talents, such as improved reaction time, physical strength, an affinity to animals, weather or certain other aspects of the Cosmius. For example, due to his raw Cosmius abilities, Tom Thompson was an accomplished athlete at the age of seven, despite a complete lack of formal training. Another example was Vaylia Neilson who, at an even younger age, was able to stop a car from hitting her with telekinesis, without any Cosmius training. Asolas was also able to use Shadow fury with no training as a child.

## Cosmius-user

The terms **Cosmius-user** and **Cosmius-sensitive** were distinct in meaning. Cosmius-sensitive denoted anyone with Cosmius power, latent or active, while being called a Cosmius-user implied that the individual had at least some understanding and control of their abilities and was able to use them to accomplish specific tasks. The latter was also used in a more specific sense as a general term for Cosmius-trained individuals who did not belong to either of the two major Cosmius traditions, the Zêirí and the No'med. Another term for Cosmius-user was **Cosmius Adept**, for No'med sometimes **Shadow Adept**.

## Independent Cosmius-users

Besides No'med and Zêirí traditions, there were other organisations devoted to the Cosmius. These often originated in another earlier tradition, but had left it after a schism or similar event. These could belong to either the Azure or Shadows, or simply exist somewhere in between. Some of the better known examples of independent Cosmius-user groups included the Boron, the Raissan, the Kerath as well as many other Cosmius-based organisations. Also, some Cosmius-users did not adhere to any code or creed, but were self-taught or raised and trained by independent masters.
