Psyjic Phantoms

A psyjic phantom is a creature that dwells in Metera, and an original creature in the Exslayer series.

## Biology

Psyjic phantoms are a humanoid creature, appearing human in every aspect except for the purple gem on their foreheads. Minus genetic mutations every psyjic phantoms gem is a shade of purple. Their skin colors range from black to white just like a humans would, but their hair colors range from all the colors of the rainbow- the warm color spectrum being rare. Most Psyjics have purple hair as a common trait. Eye color is also a very similar spectrum to humans except purple eyes are common as well.

Psyjic phantoms are only capable of psyjic magic and restoration when it comes to mana usage. Being skilled at fortune telling, levitation, mind reading, mind control, and etc. On the downside its very rare for a psyjic phantom to completely master psyjic magic, they on average master at least 3 abilities from their category.

Their biggest weak point is their gem. It is the source of their power and connected to their brain. If their gem is so much as cracked then their power weakens. Most Psyjic phantoms take care of this by wearing head protection, Psyjic Phantoms that master barriers can also protect it with a barrier on their forehead.

## Abilities

**Levitation:** The ability to pick object up with their mind and move them around. Depending on skill level they can pick up a certain weight and amount of objects all at once.

**Mind Reading:** The ability to read other minds, which layer of thought they can read depends on skill level. Whether its from what they're actively thinking about or reading a dormant memory.

**Barriers:** Psyjic barriers is the protection spell equivalent for psyjics. It uses levitation to form a solid barrier to keep attacks at bay.

**Fortune telling:** This is a rare skill, this is not a skill you learn, it's something you must be born with. Some Psyjics are born with this skill while most aren't. Psyjics that have this skill are noted to be descendants of Tempus, the guardian of time- and in some cases they are children of Somnio, guardian of dreams. Children of Somnio however don't have it as sharp as a child of Tempus. With Somnio its a bit more cryptic.

**Mind energy:** Combines pure mana with the energy of the mind, builds it up and releases it in one blast of power.

**Mind Control:** Mind control is illegal by Meteran law, but it is an ability Psyjics can have- granted very few ever learn to do it.

**Illusions:** A Psyjic illusion is a direct hallucination sent right to the subjects brain. When creative enough this can have multiple different affects.

**Mind block:** When a Psyjic Phantom grows to trust somebody they have the choice to grant them a mind block, this blocks their mind from being read by them and anybody else.

**Restoration:** This isn't a Psyjic spell so it's an ability Psyjics can learn with hard work but it isn't at all something they can naturally learn. It is the magic of restoring something to its prior form. Commonly used to heal injuries, but it can be used on objects.

## History

Psyjic phantoms originate from the region of Lorem, their ancestors all having purple hair, purple monolided eyes, and a creamy yellow skin tone. After years of mating with other species they've gained diversity over the years, psyjics having a head start since most creatures were more selective in mating.

Their ancestors came to be near the Vain river, in the rain forests- and expanding to the mystic woods and further.

## Culture

Psyjic phantoms were never known for selective mating and family bonds. This is the reason why they appear very diverse, and don't have last names to signify family lines. In fact very solemnly would you see a psyjic phantom serve under Natalie (guardian of family).

Marriage isn't something often practiced with psyjic phantoms, they usually are known more for either sticking to a relationship or just being romantic nomads. Their romantic instability is often blamed on their ability to read minds.
