Psychics, also known as Sensitives, are extremely powerful individual humans who are born with supernatural abilities, endowed with profound moral and spiritual insight or knowledge; a seer or a soothsayer who possesses intuitive powers.
These abilities can include seeing into the past/present/future, moving objects with their mind, summoning/binding spirits, and reading minds. They also professes an ability to perceive information hidden from the normal senses through extrasensory perception (ESP), or is said by others to have such abilities. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch, which are historical English idioms.
Characteristics[]
When first manifesting their abilities, they may experience severe headaches if they have precognitive abilities or may experience only mild headaches after developing their abilities further.
Some psychics practice witchcraft to enhance or curtail their abilities, but are not always classified as witches. By selling their soul to a demon (Borrowers) or by studying how to harness the forces of nature (Students), they become witches and gain the ability to extend their lifespan and gain more power/abilities. When Borrower Witches die, their deal is up and they are sent to Hell to be turned into a demon themselves, albeit with their psychic abilities further along then other hellbound souls, thus making them a particularly powerful demon when they turn after a few centuries of torture and damnation.
