I have no ego when it comes to some of these articles. If anyone sees corrections that can be made, please feel free. --Lygris 15:34, 19 September 2008 (CEST)

Don't forget to categorize your articles.--Genestealer, Magus 17:05, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
Hold up. That gives rise to some debate here.. if we classify a Mindlock as a form of technology, does that mean that all psyker related abilities should get the technology category tag? --Lygris 17:27, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
Ah, okay, my fault (although... technique...). Then just Imperium (the side table category for such stuff). But maybe we should discuss the creating of a new category - I'll start it in the german lex. Such a category should have an acceptable size (and that matters :D).--Genestealer, Magus 17:49, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
This will be interesting. To discuss and write articles about the inherent nature of the psyker and the powers the warp bestow upon them. Already several sources come to mind, such as Lord of the Night (Novel) by Simon Spurrier. Because one of the main characters was a psyker, she broke down much of the schooling matters... I am looking forward to this. --Lygris 17:52, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
A category Psionics/Psykers would be useful - on the category page. It should contain all types of psykers, other psyker-related stuff and - most important - psychic powers (the sub category is hard to find..). A lot of the powers from Rogue Trader and Genestealer (the game...) are not race-specific.--Genestealer, Magus 18:00, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
That's fair. Let's see. C.S. Goto wrote several pieces about the Eldar, giving details as to the abilities of their Farseers. I've mentioned Simon Spurrier, and Dan Abnett wrote pieces throughout the second story arc of Gaunt's Ghosts (Novel Series), and in Only in Death (Novel). Tau have no psychic signatures, the Tyranids are extensions of the Hive Mind. Do we classify the Weird Boyz of the Ork Waaagh!? in this? Their abilities aren't drawn from the Warp. Space Marine writing about Psyker powers were in Blood Angels (Novel Series) and very extensively in the entire Soul Drinkers (Novel Series). So much source material, so little time... --Lygris 18:07, 19 September 2008 (CEST)

Eventual Expansion Suggestion

Mindlocking may need to be expanded into its own article about psychic mind control techniques to cover a broader range of this particular aspect of psyker powers. As more details develop, I'll take charge of this. --Lygris 20:55, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
