Description
When a psionicist invokes this power, he sends out a powerful ring of psionic noise (extending to 100 feet). All psionic activity within this area requires twice the normal initial cost and maintenance. The initiating psionicist is not affected; the noise actually begins about an inch beyond his aura, creating a bubble of relative quiet around him. Other psionicists in the area of effect will not realize anything is wrong until they have actually used a power. If they are maintaining a power, they discover the inflated rate after paying twice the normal maintenance cost. If two psionicists initiate psionic inflation in the same area, the psionicists must conduct a psychic contest. The loser’s psionic inflation ceases. If both characters fail, then both cease their power maintenance. Reroll ties.
