X, Soulthieves, Nerd.
Project X is coming. Since my last report, I've written Chapters Twenty-one through Twenty-three. Things are messy, to say the least. In doing what he's doing, Suresh Kumar is kinda fucking himself. Dark times for a perceptible moron. The novel's going okay.
Psionics: This is the art of using your mind in weird and wonderful ways. Psionics allows you to use all kinds of powers, fueled by nothing more than your own strength of will. These psychic powers vary greatly, allowing you to detect minds, confuse opponents, block or redirect their brainwaves, give them some serious headaches, and even bash their bodies with pure telekinetic force. You can tinker with the mind of any being that has a workable mind. However, this means that mindless beings are pretty much invulnerable to mental intrusions. Also, beings with warped or corrupted minds - undead and demons, for instance - might mess you up if you attempt to attack their minds. Psionics is not bound by the physical world so it's perfectly possible to attack through doors and walls, aside from telekinesis, which of course by design gives you a conduit to the physical. Psionics relies entirely on Discipline, so care for your mind and it'll care for you. Also remember that, unlike clerical or elemental mages, you won't be learning your powers by memorizing spells from books; rather, as you become more skilled, your mind will unlock new potentials and, thus, new powers. Work hard and practise much and your repertoire of abilities will be formidable indeed.
So, yeah, a little work's been done on Soulthieves. I wrote up this skill description and I did a little more work on attribute bonuses. Things are doing. Or are getting done. Something like that.
If I fell in love with a programmer that would be the bee's knees. Or something. I don't think bees have knees. In any case she could help me out a lot with this project.
And this evening I did some major revision on "Nerd", a short story that I wrote back in September 2005. It needed a bit of work for a while. I think I made some nice improvements today. It's a pretty vicious little story. Maybe I'll post it, who knows.
I think that's all for now.
So... yeah.
Nighto.
