Capabilities[]

The user is a technopath; a psychic with the ability to perceive, receive, transmit and interface with technological objects like electronic machinery, signals and hardware, as well as communicate with computerized informational data, and manipulate all kinds of technology without the need of physical interaction to technology and machines using only the psychic power of their mind; while most users can only perceive, receive, transmit, communicate and interface with technology, stronger users can exert psychokinetic-like control over technological constructs, such as computers, robots, hardware, and other working devices that can be termed as "technology". This power is normally achieved through a mental link, with some rarer cases requiring the interface through the physical touch of an object.

In a variety of ways, technopaths are considered very similar to telepaths in function, as telepaths are able to read the thoughts of others at will and detecting the presences of other minds through extrasensory means, even controlling the minds living beings; however, in the case with technopaths, "living beings" are replaced with machines and technology, allowing the user to "hear" what a machine is "thinking", and see what they are able to see, establishing a direct line of communication with the machine. Stronger users are able to control the flow of intricate machinery, and assemble or disengage their programming at will and operate most technology at a distance, controlling specific electronics and instructing them concerning which items to engage or disengage and may be able to use the electric impulses to gently control smaller metal parts.

Unlike regular technology manipulation, which can achieved through a variety of means such as telekinesis, reality warping, tech-based magics, and even in some cases through electromagnetic powers; while technopathy can only be gained through the psychic power of the mind and is also able to manipulate technology in a similar way to technokinetics especially within stronger users. Technopaths also can't be compared to powers like technological telepathy as it requires a machine to give its user regular telepathic powers, or Cyberpathy, which enables its user to communicate and understand solely the inner workings of technology like the internet/cyberspace data, acting as a lesser version of technopathy and a sub-power in stronger users.
