Psychic

Stress, pain, extensive training, or some other effort shattered whatever contained the magic of your mind. By breaking this barrier, you can draw energy from your thoughts and use it to produce magical effects and cast spells. Even at the start of developing your psychic abilities, you enjoy greater versatility than you ever imagined possible. The trauma unlocked a wellspring of magic within you. You can now cast spells and manipulate the world with your thoughts.

As you experiment, you discover a vast repertoire of abilities at your fingertips. Telekinesis? Child's play. Conjuring illusions? A mere whisper away. The potential for further development seems limitless. But be warned. This newfound power is a double-edged sword. The same stress or pain that shattered your limitations can also shatter your control. You must learn to wield your emotions along with your thoughts, lest they consume you and bend your magic to their will. The path of a psychic is one of constant practice and discipline, for true mastery lies not just in wielding power, but in wielding yourself.
