A power class is a relative level of effective metapsychic power which generally falls into four levels: Normal, Adept, Master, Grandmaster, or Paramount. Some include latent as the lowest level, but changes to one of the other power classes, if their metafunction is unlocked or raised to operancy. The lowest class is actually sublatent where even enhanced, the individually has almost no meaningful metafunction.
Although practitioners in the same power class may be roughly equal in raw ability, nuances and subtleties of the precision and program integration skill can change the classification. The specifics of how these power classes are measured was never put into detail.
Normal
[edit] to right of the section title.Lowest level of power and the most common level for the average operant metapsychic.
Adept
[edit] to right of the section title.More power than average and "adept' level training which allows more precise control and use of metapsychic power. Approx. 1 in 10 operants at most.
Master
[edit] to right of the section title.More power than average and "master' level training which means "adept" level of training in more than one metability or "master" level of training in a specific power type. Approx. 1 in 10,000 operants.
Grand Master
[edit] to right of the section title.Much more power than any Master and "Grand Master' level training which allows access to special programs (metaconcert, etc.) skills. Approx. 1 in 1 million operants.
Paramount
[edit] to right of the section title.Sometimes called "Paramount grandmaster". Generally the most powerful operant level of ability and very rare. Approx. 1 in 1 billion operants.
