[week 2] [backdated to day 318] Gonna wash that man right out of your brain

This... may not be useful given how many there are, but psychic healing works on the cultists, at least enough to make them realize their minds have been tampered with. I think removing the tampering would also be possible, but it would take longer - a few days, probably.

The cultist - ex-cultist - I talked to spoke with the Calculator Council about it, and Ghalib. They're... alarmed.

That's the tricky thing with the local psychics.

Maybe there's a way to modify it...

If we can figure out how exactly our psychic healing is interacting with people's minds, we might be able to teach them how to touch the same things with their abilities.

[Cassandra thinks for a moment.]

I know that for us, psychic healing stems from psychic protection. But they don't really have an analogue for that - most of their psychic abilities seem to stem from sharing their power, not shielding themselves from each other... or maybe I'm misunderstanding your point?

Sharing... it reminds me more of the Force, when you say it that way. If we can share the idea of an undamaged psyche... but we need to find a way to stop them from sharing back.

Something from my own universe. It's why I always had a bit of an edge learning the network, but it's more empathy than telepathy.

And just like here, it's just kinda... always there.

Can you do things like healing with it?

It's not a technique I have a lot of training in, but it's possible. Suddenly I wish Master Cilgahl was here.
fearinahandfulof: (Huh?)

[personal profile] fearinahandfulof 2020-01-01 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Master... Cilgahl?

The best healer in the Order.


[If she's going to wish for people they might as well be the best]

It's not a human name.
fearinahandfulof: (Shock)

Oh.

[Though by now, Cassandra's met enough nonhumans that that fact isn't as notable as it could be. And of course her own humanity is... debatable.]

Do you know how healing would work in theory?
forcechanic: (Neutral PB)

Guiding everything back to the state it should be in. A lot of it involves nudging along natural processes.

So it's not dissimilar, aside from the power used...?

Yeah, that's why I always took to all the psychic things so easily. I already spoke the language.
