===SPESS MAHREENS=== [[File:Electrify.jpg|thumb|right|350px|A fine demonstration of fulmination. Pity its target.]] SpaΡe Marine librarians have developed not one but FOUR special disciplines, which Chaos Sorcerers rename because they [[Derp|gotta be]] [[Chaos|special snowflakes]]: *'''Technomancy/Heretech:''' Telepathy/biomancy for machine spirits rather than living beings, for those who prefer the company of machines or like to wreck enemy ones. *'''Fulmination/Ectomancy:''' I have the power! A discipline derived from Biomancy that tosses all the life force/biochemistry shit and focuses solely on the "lightning" bit. *'''Geokinesis/Geomortis:''' If you ever wanted to be an earthbender this is the discipline for you. Among other things it allows you to move buildings, hills and forests around. *'''Librarius/Sinistrum/Dark Hereticus:''' Very Eldar-runes-like telepathy/divination based discipline with trickery thrown in. *'''Obscuration:''' A discipline of telepathy that certain Primaris Librarians train in. Space Wolf Rune Priests use a discipline called '''Tempestas''' (although they refuse to admit it's a psychic discipline at all, since they're hypocrite assholes) - it involves powers that mostly revolve around ice, earth, and storms. It looks like it utilizes a psychic ice effect, which is a common side effect of manifesting powerful non-pyromancy powers, and then they mix that with a bit of Telekinesis to spin that ice around or shape it into giant killer wolves that eat you alive. Blood Angels and their successors claim to have their own discipline called '''Sanguinary''' but it's really just a bunch of Biomancy, Telekinesiss and Telepathy powers thrown together and given fancy names. Their buffing spells have a tendency to affect allies, rather than just the psykers at the cost of sheer power, possibly due to the selfless nature of their chapter. Then there's the Blood Lance - which is just the entirety of their psychosis bottled into one power, with all the heat and fury of the Black Rage with the color of the Red Thirst. Dark Angels utilize the '''Interromancy''' discipline, which is a specialized variant of the Telepathy discipline, originally designed to interrogate <s>Fallen</s> FOUL TRAITORS WHO ARE NOT IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE FIRST LEGION. It may lack some of the most bullshit OP powers of true Telepathy, but has a strong combination of buffs and debuffs and the latter have a chance to permanently cripple their targets, especially if they are weak-willed. 8E would introduce further disciplines for the first founding chapters, the '''Indomitus''' discipline for the [[Ultramarines]] (a blend of divination, telepathy and telekinesis), the '''Umbramancy''' discipline for the [[Raven Guard]] (an illusion-focused discipline), '''Stormspeaking''' for the [[White Scars]] (Weather manipulation and shamanism) and the '''Promethean''' discipline for the [[Salamanders]] (pyromancy with a bit of biomancy), while Technomancy and Geokinesis were assigned for the [[Iron Hands]] and [[Imperial Fists]] respectively. 9E would provide the '''Xenopurge''' discipline for the [[Deathwatch]], a telepathy-based discipline specially developed to sabotage the various enemies they face. It's likely that these abilities, especially Geokinesis and Technomancy, are not actually exclusive to Space Marines, though it seems that the Astra Telepathica considers the five basic disciplines the least difficult on the Psyker's mental health and as such doesn't seem to prioritize their teachings. Astartes Chapter's who like to focus on their own schools of war of course are likely produce psychic Neophytes inclined to the preferred specialized disciplines. Anyone powerful enough can just flat out bend reality to achieve a desired effect without having to train in it specifically, but this isn't exactly something that's easy in and of itself so the Telepathica almost literally beats out that tendency to just push raw power without discipline until the Psyker is experienced enough.
