There are many powers beyond the supernatural. In addition to magic, invocation, and other powers dependent on the soul of living beings, there are people gifted with the ability to generate power with their thoughts. Those powers are called "matrix", a power that intervenes in the physical, altering reality at the whim of those who use them; psychic powers.
Mental Patterns
The core of the power as a mentalist is your mind. That is where is the complex matrices that allow you to extend your psychic will the outside world, shaping it according to your wishes. However, this is not the only dependency between the matrices, the mind and the world around a psychic. Depending on the disposition of his thoughts, a person is able to develop some disciplines simply, while it is impossible for others to create certain matrices for the simple reason that their thoughts do not fit the way thinking, while others for them would be extremely easy. Consequently, it is not wrong to say that the morphology of the "Mind" defines and affects the powers that the mentalist can use. These peculiarities are what we call Mental Patterns.
A Mental Pattern is a particular mindset that influences the psychic abilities of a character and his personality. Not only does it affect his mental powers; it changes the mentalist himself. Each pattern affects the way the mentalist who develops it thinks and behaves.
The Patterns
Below is a list of the most common Mental Patterns a character can have, but they are by no means unique. Any GM can create their own by creating the appropriate personalities and powers. Every one of them should have the following qualities: Bonus: Lists the special advantages that the character who has this pattern receives. Penalty: List the drawbacks of a character who has the pattern. Opposed Mental Patterns: Indicates the opposite Pattern. If you have that Pattern, you cannot choose its opposite. Cost: Indicates the cost in DP in the Psychic Skills Primary group to develop the pattern. If this is the first Pattern developed, you use the first value, whereas if the character already has at least one, choose the second. Cancellation Cost: The cost of DP that is needed to invest to remove all effects of the Pattern.
His matrices are grand, spacious and spectacular, like a very showy signature.
Bonus: When the mentalist is projecting her mental powers on others, she gets a +20 bonus to her Psychic Potential and +20 to her Psychic Projection. This applies to any power which does not have a concrete shape which affects directly and exclusively the mentalist. Penalty: The Mentalist doubles its Fumble Rate when calculating their Psychic Potential when using any psychic power that will be subject directly on himself. Furthermore, all psychic powers are clearly visible to everyone (whether or not theyre able to see matrices), even those that normally would not be, such as telepathy or telemetry. Finally, when the character is alone and without people who speak or to admire, he suffers a -40 All Action Penalty. Opposed Mental Patterns: Introversion. Cost: 30 DP / 40 DP Cancellation Cost: 10 DP
Mental Pattern: Compassion This pattern represents those individuals who are more concerned with others than themselves, so their mind works best when helping people. The Mentalist is always getting in the skin others, even their enemies, and cannot help worrying about and empathizing with those around them. Causing harm to others is repugnant to them, and they avoid it whenever possible.
Their matrices are rounded and filled with warm colors.
Bonus: By using his powers to help others, he increases automatically the Difficulty Level attained by one level (that is, of course, if he doesnt obtain a result of fatigue). Also, he does not apply any Psychic Projection penalty to cover others with his shields. Penalty: Any attempt to harm another living being produces a -20 All Action Penalty to the Mentalist. Similarly, the character must overcome a difficulty 18 Will Control check if he wants to try to kill someone. If he does not overcome it and an attack occurs that could kill the target, he instead knocks the target unconscious because he subconsciously shifts the blow. Opposed Mental Patterns: Psychopath. Cost: 30 DP / 40 DP Cancellation Cost: 10 DP
Penalty: The character applies a penalty of -20 to its Defensive Psychic Projections. In addition he suffers a -40 to
escape any action aimed at a battle or a challenge.
Psychic Disciplines
Here you can see a list of new psychic disciplines in which are the following elements: Level: Indicates the level of the Power. Action: Indicates whether using the Power is an Active or Passive action. Maintenance: Indicates if the Power can be maintained in an Innate Slot. Description: Indicates the effect caused by the Power. Effect: Tells how to improve power, depending on the Difficulty reached with their Psychic Potential.
Causality
Also known as Chaos and Order, this Discipline plays with coincidences and the forces that generate the primordial chaos that moves reality. With it, it is possible to boost or decreases the ripple effects that cause changes in the world, to a limited extent. Its effects usually require a great effort by the Mentalist, as they are in reality moving the most basic forces of the universe with their Matrices.
Create Chaos
Level: 1 Action: Active Description: This power grants the Psychic the ability to enhance the laws of causality exponentially, accelerating any process underway in the affected area. It does not control the events inside, but, for example, if an area is a dormant volcano, there is a strong possibility that it erupts, but it is unlikely that something that cannot happen naturally will occur. This Power affects a specific area, defined by the difficulty of Power.

Create Order
Level: 3 Action: Active Description: In contrary to Create Chaos, this power reduces changes within an area causing continued monotony day after day without appreciable changes. We must clarify that this does not change the behavior of people, it simply removes random events from his life, always producing an intermediate and repetitive result. In higher grades, this can interfere with the unnaturalness involved in using magic and invocation, so those who are within the area affected by this power suffer an automatic negative to their skills determined by the potential reached.

Aleph
Level: 3 Action: Active Description: Makes the entire area into a single point, allowing the observation of huge areas of land from "all angles" at once.

Each turn spent contemplating allows the psychic a Perception Control check to find a place particular object or person. This roll has a difficulty indicated by the result of the Psychic Potential generated by the Aleph. No matter where what you seek is, if it is in the area affected by the aleph, if the psychic is successful in the Perception Control Check, he can find what he is looking for. Each turn spent in the same aleph decreases the Perception Control Check by a point. However, each turn he must also perform a Psy R check against the difficulty indicated by the potential reached. In case of failure, the character gains an All Action Penalty equal to the level of failure that is recovered at the rate of 5 points a day.

Laser
Level: 3 Action: Active Description: The psychic compresses light, creating a compact, destructive beam. The attack occurs on the Heat table, and due to the high temperatures of the concentrated light, and since armor melts at the contact point, it reduces the AT of the target in an amount equal to the value indicated in the table. If desired, the psychic can sweep the beam, covering a line of 5 meters. However, using the laser in this way decreased the Base Damage and AT Penetration of the attack by half.
