psikrangle

psikrangle is a term used within certain speculative fiction communities to describe a specific type of psychic ability. It typically refers to the power of a person's mind to directly influence or manipulate the physical world through sheer force of will or mental energy. This is distinct from telekinesis, which often implies a more direct, object-focused manipulation, as psikrangle can encompass broader environmental effects or even subtle alterations of physical laws within a localized area.

The origins of the term are somewhat nebulous, appearing in various online forums and fan discussions related to psychic powers in fiction. It's not a formally recognized scientific term nor is it widely established in mainstream fantasy or science fiction literature. Instead, it's a more niche descriptor that allows fans to categorize and discuss a particular flavor of psionic ability that goes beyond simple mind-reading or telekinetic pushing and pulling.

Characters exhibiting psikrangle might be depicted as capable of causing objects to spontaneously combust, altering gravity in their immediate vicinity, or even creating temporary energy constructs. The emphasis is on the mental effort as the primary driver of the physical change, often with visible strain or concentration from the user. The precise mechanics and limitations of psikrangle are usually left undefined, serving as a narrative device to grant characters extraordinary capabilities within the fictional context.
