thinking about how the way sci-fi settings typically do like. this person can do something Weird or Strange is just, psionics
psionic abilities don't exist in my setting it's just actual gods-damn magic. no you don't get to have telekinesis from an experiment or whatever, you wanna move shit with your mind you gotta figure out the spells for that
one of my favorite Weird Bullshit Spell Categories i've come up with that is rarely seen because it takes like. a very long time to get anywhere near competent with. is basically using spells to fuck with spells other people are casting as they are being cast
so like, altering someone else's fire spell that's trying to grab hydrogen to ignite so it's trying to grab helium instead and thus can't ignite shit. or breaking a logic section of a complicated spell so it just flips out. that sorta thing
