Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glyfair" data-source="post: 2428999" data-attributes="member: 53">Except the indications are that it's not just a matter of training.  The indications are that everyone doesn't have the ability to use psionics.  You can't train a person with no limbs to sew, likewise you can't train someone without psionic talent to use psionics.Also, it's noted that psionics are pretty much unknown outside of Sarlona.  Even when they manifest, the people don't say "wow, I've got psionics."  As far as they know they've developed some interesting magical abilities.  Even if someone discovered they had something different, and wanted (forced?) them to train others, it wouldn't work unless they happened to find someone that had the talent, too.I also disagree with an assumption.  You seem to think that Sarlona is/was teeming with psionic humans (elves, dwarves, etc).  Keith has pointed out that Sarlona has almost no one with psionic abilities that aren't connected to the Q'uori (the Kalashtar and Inspired). THis is partially because the Inspired have them dealt with when it happens.Sarlona isn't teeming with psionic activity and that's why the Q'uori are interested.  Sarlona has most of the psionics because that's where the Inspired and Kalashtar are.  I don't think humans with the ability to become psionic are any more common there than elsewhere.Now Changelings seem to have a higher than normal percentage of those who can use psionics.  It's probably because of that doppleganger blood in their background.  Even so, changelings don't tend to be the sorts to go around advertising this sort of thing.  They keep it a secret (probably even from other changelings, so they have an advantage over them).</blockquote>
