[FOCI]
Translation Codex
A horrifying set of powers, those who prey on the psyche are often supernatural predators in whatever re.cursion they are found. Taking and using the identity and knowledge of those they prey upon, these are monsters of the psionic world, particularly to those of us who so cher.ish our thoughts and memories. I must admit a special fear of them. My mind should be mine alone, thank you.
Despite their status as an apex predator, those who practice this Focus can also use their powers for investigative pur. poses, rifling through the minds of the wicked. Just don't let them turn their thirsty gaze on you.
