Spatial Distortion
A psionicist with this power can affect the dimensions of an area, making it larger or smaller than it appears. The base area of effect is a 20 foot cube, but the psionicist can affect a larger area by paying an initial cost of 4 PSPs per extra 20 foot cube he wishes to affect.
The maintenance cost is always half of the initial cost. The area of effect can be tailored to the surroundings; for example, the base area of effect applied to a 10 foot wide underground passage would affect an 80 foot length of passage.
Within the area of effect, the psionicist can choose to make the distance twice or one-half what it should be. In the passage above, he can make it appear to be 40 to 160 feet in length. A chasm could be made smaller, so as to he easily crossable, or greater to act as a defense. A friend’s fall could he shortened to cause less damage.
Objects must he either wholly in or wholly out of the area of effect. The transition into the area of effect is unnoticeable.
