Editing Psyker (section)

===Forces of Chaos===
[[Chaos]] tends to have...varied opinions on psykers.
*[[Daemon]]s are made out of the stuff of the Warp, and using psychic powers is shaping and throwing out a little bit of the Warp, so a daemon using psychic powers is the rough equivalent of [[Rip and tear|taking a severed limb or some bones and throwing it]] as a viable attack. While that sounds pretty fucking metal, [[Khorne]] thinks that pulling this bullshit is a sign that you're not manly enough to get into the thick of it and handle the situation on your own, an opinion shared by his daemons and mortal followers. Not only do they not use psychic powers, but they actively hate any pussified deadbeat who uses them, and even get toys that fuck with anybody trying to use those powers. However, it should be said that (deeply confused) Khornate traitor librarians exist - Khorne's opinion of them doesn't stop them from idolizing him.  They just don't receive his favor, obviously (Unless your name is [[Sindri Myr|SSSSSSIIIINDDDRRRIIII]]). Any psyker who wishes to serve him swears off their powers except for utilitarian uses like telepathy or stopping other psykers from cheating. Having a cheat code and not using it makes you more honorable, not less.
*On the other end of the spectrum, [[Tzeentch]], being the god of magic, is hugely into psychic powers, and he likes making new ones that do all kinds of mix-and-match effects, though only the best are actually rolled out. That's the official line. He's actually a closeted pyro, and a lot of his powers are burny or... do weird shit. Being the patron of psykers, if people get Tzeentch's attention because they're scholars or [[Just As Planned|David Xanatos]], they'll eventually develop psychic power whether they like it or not. Due to higher exposure to Warp energy via psychic powers and serving the god of change, Tzeentch's minions, and more often, ''their'' minions have the highest rates of mutation and turning into [[Chaos Spawn|Chao--er, tentacly gribblies]]. [[Ahzek Ahriman|Ahriman]], possibly the greatest of Tzeentch's servants barring Magnus himself, was so powerful a Psyker that he was able to defeat Ulthwe's most venerated Psyker, Kyaduras the Anchorite, with ease, and, in the same battle, also casually defeated [[Yvraine]], the Yncarne, and the Visarch. 
*In the middle, [[Nurgle]] likes any psykers that spread his gifts around, but doesn't really go out of his way to promote them in his followers either, probably on account of his direct opposition to Tzeentch. Needless to say, his powers all revolve around inflicting people with horrible diseases or boosting their endurance to unnatural levels. 
*Similarly, [[Slaanesh]] thinks Tzeentch is a [[Neckbeard|giant nerd]], whose overdevotion to his nerdy hobby of inventing new psychic powers will never get him laid. We think it says this because Tzeentch <s>refuses to sleep with it (it almost certainly likes his tentacles and crotch mouth)</s>  is afraid he might catch Warp chlamydia, and he's just not willing to give Nurgle that kind of [[Just as Planned|satisfaction]]. Slaaneshi psykers emphasize powers that make the [[Chaos|hurt feel good]], or have effects that look like the target might have [[Drug|snorted]] the psychic power off of a stripper's ass.

Being able to combine psychic powers, sorcery, and the favours of the Dark Gods easily makes the psychic followers of Chaos amongst the most powerful and dangerous individuals around. Such power [[Grimdark|comes at a price, of course]]. A Chaos corrupted or worshipping Psyker is significantly more to blow up into Daemons, both because they deal with them directly and thus increase the natural risk and/or because [[Troll|Tzeentch]] felt like a dick at the wrong time.
