You certainly know that feelings and powers anticipate you when in stress: you
can run faster hunted by hungry wolf, fight better when your love is
endangered, think clearer returning totally drunk from the pub seeing your mum
waiting for you at the door...
This is called adrenaline rush and scientists somewhere in Bamboolia found out
that it helps us deal better with dangerous situations and simply to survive.
And you know psionics are really dependent of their mana. They are almost
invincible when they have it but almost dead otherwise. And here\'s the point
of this skill - when psionics realised casters focusing on the fight don\'t
regenerate mana very well, they started to suggest their brains manaregen is a
part of adrenalin rush affect. Surprisingly, it really works - in the beginning
you are able to regenerate your mana only little bit but after hard training
you won\'t perceive any different between fight or normal life...
However, there is a price to pay. This psychic adrenaline produces a lot of
stress, and if you overstress your mind, you start taking damage, and if you
don\'t stop you can easily die. When you stop this adrenaline surge, stress will
gradually disappear, the faster the calmer you are.
Gameplay note: It is useful to include %FY flag in your prompt to track changes
to your stress level. If it reaches red, you are in trouble. If it reaches
bright red, you usually don\'t even have time to finish your will. So be
careful.
