There are Saresii Schools and Academies that teach these abilities and any Union Citizen with the proper HPI register may legally participate and gain knowledge,control and skill over the Psionic abilities and talents but it must be noted in the CITI records. There are also the famous mythical Gray Cat Schools that require no such controls and are officially illegal by Union and Saresii Law. Participation or gaining such skills without proper CITI documentation is a felony.

Similar legal Schools exist on Phantas and Magica Planet. It is believed that the Kermac use similar schooling for their population.

Telepaths taps into the Psionic field any thinking mind creates; through which unspoken thoughts and feelings are communicated through space. Psionic talented individuals can tap into this field through a kind of sense organ located in the brain; in the same manner that human eyes can sense portions of the electromagnetic field, telepaths can sense portions of the psionic field and in some cases manipulate it.

The Union Assembly recognizes the existence of Psionic Powers such as Telepathy as both a gift and source of cultural development and a great danger to the privacy of Union citizens. The PSI Laws were created due to this.
