+# Power Descriptions
+Note that every power, unless otherwise specified, is affected by Intelligence scaling and Nether Attunement scaling. Intelligence scaling is normalized at 10 with +/- 5% per point in either direction—-Intelligence 9 makes powers 95% as effective, Intelligence 12 makes powers 110% as effective, and so on. 
+
+# Biokinesis
+**Note**: No biokinetic powers have a range or AoE listed because they only affect the psion. 
+
+## Overcome Pain (C)
+*Difficulty*: 1
+*Duration*: 5 minutes to 21 minutes 40 seconds, plus 20 to 75 seconds per level 
+*Stamina Cost*: 1750, minus 75 per level to a minimum of 800
+*Channeling Time*: 125 moves, minus 7 moves per level to a minimum of 50
+*Effects*: Adds pkill to the psion, scaling every 4 levels. 
+Level | Pkill Min | Pkill Tick | Pkill Max
+——-|——-|——-|———
+0 | 1 | 12 | 15
+4 | 2 | 10 | 30
+8 | 3 | 10 | 50
+12| 4 | 8 | 75
+16| 5 | 8 | 100
+20| 6 | 6 | 130
+This is natural painkiller and so has natural effects (reduces speed slightly)
+*Prerequisites*: Starting power.
+

 2) Clairsentience - Extending the senses beyond the body. Clairsentients can see in the dark and through walls, and eventually gain a bird's eye view of their surroundings, as well as perform in combat by anticipating their enemies' movements. (starting profession: Doomseer)

 By default, you can maintain concentration on a number of powers equal to your (Intelligence / 4) + any traits, mutations, proficiencies, or effects that change this limit. This is either listed in the description, like how Easily Distracted reduces the concentration potential by 1, or is common sense, like how being set on fire, covered in rotting zombie barf, or so tired you're doubled over and breathing heavily all make it harder to concentrate.  You may maintain your powers for an indefinite length of time as long as you are under your limit, but if you're over your limit, when a concentration check comes up or when you channel a new power you have a chance to lose your concentration. This is checked independently per concentrated power, so being more powers over your limit greatly increases the odds your concentration will break. 
 
-GAINING POWERS
+GAINING PSIONICS
 
 The easiest way to gain psionics is to pick a profession that starts with them or choose one of the "newly-awakened [X]" hobbies. There are also some strange crystals you might find in places with a strong connection with the Nether, or which are carried by feral psions, or in ruined secret scientific facilities. Or you could walk out into a portal storm unprotected.

+LEARNING NEW POWERS
+
+(Note: the system below is currently only applicable for Biokinetics but will be expanded to cover all paths)
+
+New powers are unlocked by leveling existing powers. When particular prerequisites are reached and after a certain amount of time (anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on power difficulty), you have the chance to unlock the possibility of a new power. Once you’ve done so, you can attempt its contemplation recipe, found in the Practice crafting tab, to attempt to understand the power. If you succeed (success depends on your Metaphysics skill), you’ll unlock the power and it will appear in your powers list. If you fail, you’ll have to try again. You can try repeatedly until you successfully unlock it. 
+
+There is a small chance you can sidestep the prerequisites and discover powers that would normally be beyond your ability. If this happens, you can contemplate to attempt to unlock it the same as any other power.
