Hello there
@TheEdVerse
! Long time fan and long time seeker of advice on all things Forgotten Realms. I was wondering if you ever incorporated Psionics into FR areas, lore, etc. Is there anything you can tell me off handed (or in depth) so I…..can color in my world? Thank you!

Yes, I’ve used psionics a lot. The most prevalent and widespread way it’s found in the Realms is as a “wild talent.” Meaning, a “just plain someone,” from a shepherd boy to a fishwife to a warehouse cargo handler, can do one… 2)
…spell-like thing by exerting their will and concentration. If they can keep this power secret, they usually do, unless they can make a living out of it, like being a healer, or bending bars to open coin vaults or escape…#Realmslore

…from prison cells. Individuals with such abilities are often captured by local rulers or even kings, and forced to use their talents on behalf of their captor. In Cormyr, the War Wizards recruit such folk, giving them careers.#Realmslore
