Why does this mod appear?

Many people noticed that the psionic ascension, compared to the biological and the synthetic, is far inferior to the other two since 2.2. One is population matters everything for resources, the other is psionic lacks of unique elements to play with, besides the RNG Shroud.

Here comes to mind: What if a psionic empire can use the power of its people to do something great that biological and synthetic cannot do?

Also, let's hope the upcoming DLC -Shadow of the Shroud - can really make the psionic FUN!

What does it do?

• When your primary species display the sign of psionic, you gain access to cast the power of psionics.

• New resource - Psionic Power, which generates a certain amount (and other factors) every month. Used to cast the Power.

The amount of Psionic Power you can hold heavily relies on your psionic pops, pops with telepath job, ruler and technologies.

• There are 55 powers to cast, with 20 of them locked behind specific conditions. Each Power requires a different amount of Psionic Power to perform.

There could be more in the future but no guarantee - Powers need to be valuable and fun enough to play with.

• Think twice before you recklessly cast the powers. Corruption grows by casting powers.

The only Power to reduce it is Purification, and you do not want that to go beyond the scale.

• Zro plays an essential role, and you want them more in this mod! They can reduce the threshold of power, or use them to increase the production of psionic pops.

• When your Ruler is the Chosen One, they can greatly aid their power for the empire.

These powers are exclusive for Chosen One and can only be performed with their help.

• By forming the covenant with one of the Shroud entites, you gain access the related powers.

• Add 10 new technologies, 3 edicts, all related to psionics.

Notices

• Avoid using the psionic menu when operating other businesses like planetary view, commanding ships - as the UI mod checks whether the scope is country all the time.

It won't break the mod but will refuse to function until then.

• You can have Psionic Power more than the bar can displays (300).

• Hive Mind, Machine Empire may access the feature as long as they have Psionic traits, but such you need related mod to let that happen.

• Lots of effort on AI, so they can handle the mod features without any drawback.

• AI can access the Shroud properly with this mod. (Please ask Paradox to address this)

• This mod mainly focuses on species with psionic power, not on buildings, structures, weapons or ships.

• To gigastructure worshipers: Spirit Flame no longer forces delete fleets in the system they belong. Therefore, whoever blames Spirit Flame for deleting ships will be considered as a false claim.

• If a psionic empire screws you up, you should have destroyed them a long ago.
