Psychic energy
Psychic energy, or psionic energy, (AUDIO: The Wishing Beast [+]Loading...["The Wishing Beast (audio story)"]) was a type of energy that powered (or was powered by) mental processes.
Characteristics[[edit] | [edit source]]
Psychic energy had many varied frequencies. One type needed a focus point, a medium to create the energy like a poltergeist and form energy gathering points as a way to coalesque the energy and create psychic projections. It may also have served to connect time zones. (TV: The Awakening [+]Loading...["The Awakening (TV story)"])
Natural pooling of psychic energy could occur, as with Saul the sentient church, but it could also be pooled artificially. (PROSE: The Left-Handed Hummingbird [+]Loading...["The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)"])

Inside the pocket of unreality connected to 19th century Edinburgh by the Spherion-powered Silversmith's mirrors, the Mirror Image of the Silversmith harvested the psychic energy of dozens of human prisoners to stabilise the bubble dimension in question into a city that mirrored Edinburgh itself. When the human prisoners were freed by the Eighth Doctor and Josie Day, this caused the dimension to collapse. (COMIC: The Silvering [+]Loading...["The Silvering (comic story)"])
