Psychic Surgeon

A psychic surgeon uses his natural psionic talent to aid other people. He might try to help others to unleash their own psychic potential, operate on the mentally disturbed, or use hypnosis to influence others. Most psychic surgeons are fascinated by the way minds and spirits work; many are as knowledgeable as sages in the fields of human behavior, faith, and the pursuit of wisdom. ​

Role

Psychic surgeons may function as sages, providing their possibly illegal psionic services only to those who need or can pay for them. Others may act as healers, trying to help the possessed, sick, or wounded to recover to health. This may be done for religious, moral, or monetary reasons. ​
