As a Psychic, Svala receives a Phrenic Amplification. This is a proposal for a different ability on the list. Retain Power (Su): By spending 1 point from her phrenic pool, the psychic can retain some of her power as charge. Doing so causes her a number of points of non-lethal damage equal to linked spell's level. When charged the psychic can release the charge as a standard action, dealing 1d6 damage per linked spell's level to every creature and object within 5 feet, except the psychic herself, with a Reflex save for half damage. The psychic can spend 1 point from her Phrenic Pool to contain her power instead ofDC of the saving throw is calculated using it to power her inscriptions for one round. Doing so causes her one point of damage. During the roundthe linked spell's level. If she is retaining power, she is unable to cast spells or use abilities powered by her inscriptions, but she can take other actions as normal, such as moving, attacking with a melee weapon, and so on. At the start of her next turn, the psychic can spend another point of her Phrenic Pool to continue to charge the effect, taking another point of damage, or she can dischargedoes not discharge, the energy she has stored up, so long as she has Phrenic Points remaining. When she discharges the energy, everything within five feet, except the psychic herself and her own items, suffers 1d6 points of damage for each point of the Phrenic Pool used to charge up the effect. The build up of power in the psychic is visible and obvious to those who can see or hear her as it crackldissipates over her skin where the inscriptions are laid. Damage suffered from this use of the Phrenic pool cannot be healed untiltime, fully dissipating after reinscriptionan hour.
