[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 7415270, member: 6801226"] It occurs to me that the barbarian's rage might be a better template than the wizard's spell casting for psychic powers. While for a barbarian, your body gets supercharged for a minute, the mystic's mind gets supercharged for a minute. That could fit a meditative state, the mystic concentrating really hard, or the mystic smoking opium/black lotus/drug of choice (I still think they should have gone all Weird Tales and made mystic subclasses based on what you were smoking to trigger the psychic activity). I am not quite sure exactly what the mystic would do while mentally supercharged, but there are no shortage of psychic things that could be pillaged for that, maybe astral projection (but your mind is wandering whatever plane you are on; possession is 9/10ths of the law), Carrie-style TK, Firestarter-style Pyrokinetics, some kind of weird shared hallucination, Far Realm influenced tentacles and abberations popping up, etc. [/QUOTE]
