| While holding a melee weapon, the psion may activate this power by spending 1 Psi Point. For the next 30 seconds, they may call RESIST to any blaster hits that strike them from the front. They must roleplay actively using their melee weapon to attempt to block the incoming fire (although they do not need to actually block the incoming darts to RESIST them). They may also use their melee weapon to make attacks or block melee attacks while this power is active, but cannot call RESIST on incoming fire while doing so. | While holding a melee weapon, the psion may activate this power by spending 1 Psi Point.

| One of the most storied abilities of the ancient Kordaiaura - this power grants the ability to use a blade or other weapon to protect the psion and others from harm. By imbuing their weapon with an expansive field of swirling gravitic force and entering a state of hyperfocus, the psion's perception of time stretches and slows, and they can perceive the rippling gravitic fields around them. This perception allows a certain amount of prescience, as the gravitic waves propagate at the speed of light in the void. The eddies of gravity around their blade are calibrated to disrupt and dissipate the delicate cohesive packets of plasma that are fired by most energy weapons, and by precisely blocking them with the wide eddy fields around their weapon they can be rendered harmless. Traditional Kordaiaura believe that the awareness they obtain in this state allows them to briefly glimpse the interconnectedness of all things that embodies their concept of Aura. | One of the most storied abilities of the ancient Kordaiaura - this power grants the ability to use a blade or other weapon to protect the psion and others from harm.

| While holding a melee weapon, the psion may activate this power by spending 2 Psi Points. For the next 30 seconds, they may call RESIST to any blaster hits that strike them from the front, and in addition for each blaster dart that they RESIST they may call STRIKE against another character within 5 metres (at no additional cost in Psi Points). They must roleplay actively using their melee weapon to attempt to block the incoming fire (although they do not need to actually block the incoming darts to RESIST them). They may also use their melee weapon to make attacks or block melee attacks while this power is active, but cannot call RESIST on incoming fire while doing so. | While holding a melee weapon, the psion may activate this power by spending 2 Psi Points.

| A step beyond the Barrier Blade, this power surrounds the psion's weapon with gravitational swirls that can catch and redirect blaster fire at other targets, effectively slingshotting each plasma packet around the weapon to strike another target. This technique requires incredible concentration to keep track of the position and speed of incoming projectiles, potential targets, and also the psion's own body and weapon. Those who master this technique become an incredible threat to any armed patrol, able to turn their attacker's weapons against them, often while closing the distance to engage their startled opponents in melee combat for which they are deeply unprepared. | A step beyond the Barrier Blade, this power surrounds the psion's weapon with gravitational swirls that can catch and redirect blaster fire at other targets, effectively slingshotting each plasma packet around the weapon to strike another target.
