Summoning Storms: For Intermediate/Advanced Psions Only!

[Rowan_Wulfram]

Hello! 3nodding

Yeah, so I'm basically spurning this thread off my sister's on vaporizing clouds.

As it says in the title, this is for thouroughly practicing or master psionicists. Technically it should only be for masters, I suppose, but I practice storm summoning often and am no where near master level. Intermediates, just be smart about what you are doing, know what you are getting into, and don't over estimate your abilities!!!

Warnings:

-Don't over draw your energy. You should know your limits by now, don't push them. A storm is a big force to deal with, and it will be much harder to withdraw whatever energy you use. You don't want to lose more energy than is healthy.

-If you are like me, it is very easy to get carried away with the natural energy highs that come with storms. Don't get power-hungry. You can bring on the storm to fast, too much, and nearly get struck by lightning like me.

-Going along and further clairifying, just don't lose your head. Keep concentrated, focus on the energy and keep yourself under control.

With that said, I think we can move on to the actual manipulating.

Time to Roll! (Like Thunder!)


All right, I'm going to give an overlay of how I personally use my energy on storms. It may be different for each person, so feel free to expirament and Nii-san or any one else who has expirience, by all means chip in on techniques. 3nodding

Disclaimer: This is NOT summmoning storms out of a clear, sunny day. That takes an expirience I do not yet have. This tutorial is specifically built to mess with storms while they are near by or already present, where you can manipulate the energies within it to condense, disperse, or move the storm.

First, I spend several minutes focusing my energy. I go out and stand in the rain, though if you prefer not to get wet, get as close as you can, like under an overhang. I close my eyes and focus on the energy all around me, I open up my wings and use them as a rain-energy panel to both absorb and filter the flow of the sky, clouds, wind, and of course the rain itself. (and whatever thunder or lightning may be present. BIG energy boost.) You need to be very in tune with your surroundings and you must be able to take in and expel energy at the same time, this is crucial.

Once I am completely in 'tune', I use my wings to take in the energy from around me and at the same time I form sort of like psi-tentacles from my wings. You cannot use your own energy for this task, it will prove very harmful, which is why you channel the energy from the storm while you are working, you sort of use the storm's power against itself. Then, I reach the 'tentacles' up into the clouds and let my energy meld with the energy from the clouds, almost becoming one with it. Once you are 'one with the cloud', you can move it around as you please, if only is small portions. Moving a whole storm, depending on its size, usually can prove too much for one person. You can also stretch or condense it, and if you have a good education in meterology you should be able to change specific properties as well.

Reminder: Don't forget to keep absorbing energy! Let it be like breathing. In, out, in, out...

Again, BE CAREFUL. I once condensed a storm a little too much, and boy it worked. Lightning started striking every where, including not 40 feet away from where I was standing. DON'T BE STUPID WITH THE POWER.

Unfortunately, as with almost all psionics, expirience is the best teacher. This prooves to be risky, but you often must learn this on your own. So go have fun. (Not too much.) Don't die. And PM me or post here if you have any questions on specifics. I can be pretty bad about leaving things out.

Good luck! cool
