Contrary to what the contributors previously stated, and this is not to the poster. I have no idea why people keep diving into 2year old+ thread questions like it helps anymore. But for anyone else who happens to see this.

Abilities are not limitless because of our bodies. We aren't energy, we are matter with perhaps a small amount of ethereal essence in us. A soul, something that is usually attributed to events we cannot explain. There is no solid definition on what we are. But whatever it is its most obvious limit is the physical being its connected to. Being alive means that shit doesn't just go in our favor because we want it to, which can be said about more then just psionics on its own.

We have a limit. And the only way to push a limit is by practicing.

I don't understand why MASTERY is just some end goal with abilities on this site, but Mastery can mean anything. Even with a Mastery of Tychokinesis you will not be able to make any event occur on a whim. You will not become a god of chance. You will not win the lottery. You will NOT make a building collapse.

Mastery of Tychokinesis doesn't mean that you can summon meteorites to rain down on the planet BY CHANCE. That's freaking idiotic. Mastery means that you understand the ability well enough to easily accomplish it, and to teach it to another member willing to learn.

You increase probability. You do not create events, you increase the chance of something to happen. If the chance is miniscule then increasing it will only make it less miniscule.
