[ the man who walks to the front is small - probably a little over five feet, but slender and graceful, with brown skin and dark eyes. his hair is black but most of his head is shaved, leaving only a topknot weaved into a long, straight braid. he introduces himself as eviatar zerubavel. ]
I work for the Commission for Research into Unexplained Phenomena, a branch of the US Government that does in-depth fact finding on a number of topics that bypass the 'mundane'. One of these which remains full of more questions than answers is the unique phenomena of psionics.
What separates a psion from a sorcerer? Much of what they can do is similar to an observer. Yet we believe that the key lies in examining the source of their power - a source that is uniquely and entirely located within their own brain. Those who manipulate arcane energies around us do so either through rituals that harness those energies - wizardry - or through a natural ability to control them - sorcery. The energies themselves however, do not exist within the wizard or sorcerer. They are around us and everywhere. Both types of arcane magic users merely have ways to tap into them.
Psions are unique, in that their energy source is actually entirely stored within their own mind. They, in fact, produce this energy, through processes which we've yet to understand.
