Description[]
This is the ability to psychically animate and direct detached body parts, at will.
Uses/Applications (Pros)[]
One with this ability could psychically autotomize (detach body parts), at will. In addition, one could psychically animate detached body parts, at will. Furthermore, one can often psychically perceive the presence, location and/or condition of one's detached body parts, at will. One can also psychically direct the movements of one's detached body parts, at will. One could even, in most cases, psychically reattach detached body parts, at will.
Weaknesses/Limitations (Cons)[]
- Some users can only detach certain body parts, or only detach body parts one or a few at a time.
- Some users cannot detach body parts at will (some must have parts detached manually) before they can be animated.
- Most times, this ability is accomplished with a rudimentary psychically barrier that prevents detached and animated body parts from losing blood, or sustaining infection through the detached stumps; though, not always.
- Some users cannot animate detached body parts (only detach and reattach).; for those who can, ease of motion still varies with each user (some have parts that can levitate or fly, while others' parts must crawl around or even drag themselves along).
- Some users cannot perceive and/or direct their body parts once detached.
- Some users cannot reattach body parts once detached.
