Metapsychic powers (or "metapsychic abilities"), also known as "metafaculties" or "metafunctions", are characterized as extraordinary and special mental or metapsychic abilities with effects beyond normal mental abilities or even Intellectual giftedness (eidetic memory, mental calculator, perfect pitch, etc.) usually characterized by the ability to effect change outside the person with the mental ability.

Dimensional associations

Rho-field - inertialess, anti-gravity field
Sigma-field - anti-energy force shield
Upsilon-field - dimensional translocation field, see D-jump

Metapsychic manifestation of the tau-field (time travel) has not been demonstrated.

Effect types

Creation - able to manipulate energy and light with adepts able to use it to also alter states of matter
Redaction - neurological alteration and metapsychic healing
Coercion - manipulation of voluntary responses such as muscle movement and sometimes psychological motivations
Psychokinesis - remote movement (kinetic force manipulation) of matter
Farsense - remote sense projection and metapsychic communication
- Almost all metapsychics have some level of farsense in terms of receiving metapsychic communication

Undetermined effect types

Peripheral-mode metafuction - also called "dissociation," an apparent "splitting" of the mind so that one or more metafunctions operate independently of the others, or automatically, without continuing conscious volition
Prolepsis - predicting future events
Subsumption - absorbing metapsychic powers from another
Translocation (D-jump) - teleportation and FTL

Coordinated effects

Coadunation - the process needed to achieve metapsychic unity
Metaconcert - combining metapsychic abilities in a way that can increase power beyond a simple sum of the participants
