PSI NBurst

PSI NBurst   PSI NBurst is a potent stimulant that releases the user’s innate Will energy, pushing their psychic potential beyond natural limits. The drug amplifies the body’s natural PSI reserves, granting users enhanced control, power, and range over their abilities.   In some cases, PSI NBurst can even awaken new psychic or Will-based abilities in individuals who previously showed no such talent. Its effects have made it a valuable though controversial tool in warfare, where it has been used to empower soldiers and wizards, allowing them to cast larger spells or store energy for massive rituals.   Outside the battlefield, however, PSI NBurst has become a dangerous substance, sought after by those chasing power, influence, or personal gain often at devastating cost to themselves and others.  

Danger

There are several severe risks to using PSI NBurst. Taking too much at once can overload the mind, causing the user’s power to spiral out of control—often resulting in seizures, psychic collapse, or brain death.   Prolonged use quickly builds tolerance, forcing users to take higher doses to achieve the same effect. Over time, this weakens their natural Will energy, slows mental function, and may even damage their ability to concentrate or channel PSI at all.   For those without innate PSI or high amount Will energy attempting to use it, the drug is especially lethal. Since PSI NBurst feeds directly on the brain’s own Will energy, it gradually causes irreversible neural decay. The early symptoms include pounding headaches and fatigue, but repeated use leads to total mental burnout—leaving the victim comatose or effectively brain-dead.   Pathfinder one use will give

Mechanics & Inner Workings

PSI NBurst taps into the body’s natural reserves of Will energy, forcing them into overdrive. The drug accelerates neural activity, pushing the brain to generate and channel far more energy than it safely can.   This surge floods the nervous system, amplifying the body’s natural PSI pathways. Any part of the body capable of expressing Will whether through thought, movement, or spellcasting is pushed to peak output, allowing for extraordinary feats of psychic or magical strength.   However, PSI NBurst doesn’t regulate itself. The compound actively seeks out and fuses with Will energy, multiplying it continuously until the user’s system reaches total burnout.  

Pathfinder

Effects   For 1d6 × 10 minutes, the user’s inner Will energy floods their system.   Gains a +2 alchemical bonus on Will saves and concentration checks.   If the user possesses a PSI, Will, or psychic ability, it is treated as one level higher for the purpose of damage, range, or duration.   Non-PSI users instead gain a temporary 1st-level minor telekinetic or empathic effect (GM’s choice).   User becomes fatigued when the effect ends.   Side Effects / Dangers   Overdose: A second dose within 24 hours forces a Will save DC 22 or the user takes 2d6 Intelligence and 1d4 Wisdom damage as their neural network burns out.   Addiction: Each additional dose in a week requires a Fortitude save DC 20 or the user becomes addicted; withdrawal causes –2 penalty on all mental checks and Will saves for 1 week.   Burnout: Long-term use (over a month) reduces total Mana pool capacity by 1 point permanently for every failed withdrawal save.
