Sort of want to ask someone in person about psychic powers.

Ask experts.
Instead of Wikipedia or Vrashipedia.

Date: 2026-01-06 08:16 pm (UTC)I think I might be psychic or have a family history?

Date: 2026-01-06 08:31 pm (UTC)They'll probably ask about things like family history and your personal experiences with it. There is also a practical test so they can observe your abilities, which they can use to tailor a limiter for you, if you wish to have one.

Date: 2026-01-06 08:56 pm (UTC)They'll probably focus more on your personal experiences with your own abilities anyway.

Date: 2026-01-07 07:07 pm (UTC)As for whether it's genetic... hmm... I *think* it can't be said for sure yet whether there is a genetic link or not. There's been cases of it developing in more than one family member, but also cases where it's isolated to just one person in a family.
So, a genetic link is possible, but I think other factors can also come into play. There's a lot of on-going research on it still being done.
Or, that's my take on it anyway.

How annoying. Thanks though.

Ah... *She gestures towards a door on their left.*
This is where the Psychic Duelist Department is.
