Special Abilities

Psychic Techniques

Telekinesis: Shamash is a supremely powerful telekinetic, able to fly, create barriers and generate unbelievable force with his mind.

Telepathy: Shamash is an incredibly skilled telepath with several lifetimes worth of experience. He can read minds, detect powerful emotions and hostile intent and communicate telepathically with many people at once over vast distances.

Empathy: Like a Newtype, Alexander can sense intense contentration, powerful emotions and killing intent, giving him an edge on the battlefield as he can occassionaly anticipate an attack before it happens, or predict the movements of an enemy. Outside of combat, it aids his knowledge of psychology by giving him something other than verbal cues and body language to detect anxiety or deception.

Ocular Techniques

Suggestion: By making eye contact, Shamash can make a verbal suggestion that has a higher than normal possibility of being accepted. Suggestion is very unlikely to make anyone do anything against their will, however it can make what would normally be an unreasonable request seem much more reasonable, as in getting an enemy to accept parley in the heat of battle, or to convince someone to accept terms in a negotiation when they intended to hold out for more. Can be resisted by concentration or force of will.

Notable Items

• Crown of Swords (Corona Ensis): A Crown of golden laurel leaves interwoven with swords like thorns. A powerful psychic amplifier that gives him the ability to severely bend space and manipulate matter, equivalent to an Akira-level Psychic. However the strain produced by artificially increasing a psychic's power so dramatically has severe degenerative effects on cell cohesion. Prolonged usage can dramatically shorten the user's lifespan, and even brief usages can cause wounds, burns, lacerations and other physical injuries to the Conductor.
  • Mantle of Fire (Pallum Ignis): A form of a Psychic Jacket, the so-called Mantle of Fire can take many forms depending on the wielder, but generally encapsulates them in a shroud of pure psychic force, shielding them from harm and the elements and greatly enhancing their physical characteristics. Though the Mantle can be summoned without a Choir, its strength is determined on the size of Choir (or lack thereof) supporting it.

As a mantle of 'fire', the Conductor can generate fire-like effects and weapons, and is therefore resistant to heat and fire-like effects and insulated from the cold. Such corresponding abilities can occur with mantles of ice, lightning and shadow, depending on the nature of the psychic wielding it and their temperament.

• • • Sword of the Sun - Baneblade (Spatha Solaris): The primary weapon derived from the Pallium Ignis, the Baneblade is an especially dense plasma blade in the form of a broadsword. Despite being shrouded in a containment field that contains the plasma but can pass harmlessly through most solid matter, the blade tends to be wreathed in flames.
  • Space Folding: the Conductor can open a hole in space from one point to another, even between dimensions. The effect is not instantaneous, and creates a visible and tangible hole the Conductor or others can pass through. The gate will close once the Conductor has passed through, or dismissed it.
  • Time Distortion: An extension of Space Folding, a Conductor can alter the flow of time, enough to produce a Haste or Slow-like effect.
  • Rule of Refusal: A Conductor can exert their will to prevent other sources of dimensional or temporal travel, or other extra spatial effects such as spatial compression. This ability can't be used at the same time as other space altering abilities, other than passive use of the Mantle of Fire (thus if the Conductor blocks a spatial transfer or teleportation, they cannot immediately use the Mantle in an offensive fashion)
