The Next Generation of Magic and Psionics?

Unread post by Kovoston »

Curious Question,

Besides Techno-Wizardry, what else would be considered a high-tech or post-modern/futuristic form of magic or psionics?
Thanks!

There's Cyber-magic from Nightbane, which is a combination of techno-wizardy and bio-wizardy, wherein the spells must be put into a machine AND that machine needs something living to power it.

There is also Psi-techs from that game that make psionic powers into technology.

No. I mean Nightbane Psi-techs, which are completely unrelated to Rifts psi-techs and Rifts Psynetics. There's more to palladium than Rifts, ya know :wink:

PSi Techs 1st appeared in BTS1
then into NB and rifts

There is also the (Psi-) Gizmoters in SA2, but they are more like munchinized Psi-techs then anything else.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
